So this may have little to do with Foucault and was already posted
before perhaps but what are everyone's thoughts on the death of one of
the last remaining French intellectual icons, Claude Levi Strauss?
He was 100-101 years old.


He was a fine philosopher, teacher of Pierre Bourdieu, great renewer of anthropology and midwife of the postmodern fase in our culture. I loved his Anthropologie Structurale and La Pensee Suavage has become a classic.
