La pensée sauvage

"Wild Thought" by Claude Lévi-Strauss is a significant work of contemporary ethnology that explores the universal human capacity for "wild" thinking. The author distances himself from traditional ethnological approaches and examines how myths, rituals, and cultural beliefs can be viewed as natural phenomena. This perspective opens up new insights into human culture and its development. Published in the 1950s, the book has had a lasting impact on the social sciences and is considered a classic in its field. Lévi-Strauss' analysis demonstrates that the "wild" way of thinking exists within every person, as long as it is not shaped by societal norms and expectations. The work is written in French and offers a profound reflection on the relationship between humanity and culture.
