Claude Lévi-Strauss(28 November 1908 30 October 2009) was a French anthropologist and ethnologist, and has been called the "father of modern anthropology".He also was one of the central figures in the structuralist school of thought, where his ideas reached into fields including the humanities and philosophy. Structuralism has been defined as "the search for the underlying patterns of thought in all forms of human activity."When young, Lévi-Strauss organized expeditions into the French countryside, and later studied in Paris, where he went on to teach. He later traveled and did research in Brazil with his first wife, Dina. Returning to France, he was drafted into the French army, but after France was invaded by the Nazis, he escaped to New York, where he taught at the New School for Social Research. In 1948, he returned to France.He was honored by universities throughout the world and held the chair of Social Anthropology at the Collège de France (1959 1982); he was elected a member of the Académie Française in 1973.
