In addresses written for a wide general audience, one of the twentieth
century's most prominent thinkers, Claude Lévi-Strauss, here offers the
insights of a lifetime on the crucial questions of human existence.
Responding to questions as varied as 'Can there be meaning in chaos?',
'What can science learn from myth?' and 'What is structuralism?',
Lévi-Strauss presents, in clear, precise language, essential guidance
for those who want to learn more about the potential of the human mind.
