1. Philosophy / H. Continental Philosophy / 4. Linguistic Structuralism

23123	Basic to human culture are binary oppositions, such as eating raw or cooked [Levi-Strauss, by Green,TH]
	Full Idea: Lévi-Strauss made canonic to French structuralism the idea that human culture could be understood through a series of binary oppositionsn - the difference between what could be eaten raw and what cooked being one of the most fundamental.
	From: report of Claude Lévi-Strauss (works [1950]) by T.H. Green - Prolegomena to Ethics 1
	A reaction: My guess is that such oppositions can often be illuminating, but will always be eventually judged as too simplistic.
