"Through a fertile mixture of insights gleaned from linguistics and from sociology and ethnology, Lâevi-Strauss elaborated his theory of structural unity in culture and became the preeminent representative of structural anthropology. La Pensâee sauvage, published in French in 1962, was his crowning achievement.
