Claude Lévi-Strauss
Claude Lévi-Strauss was a French anthropologist and ethnologist, often regarded as the father of structuralism. He analyzed the underlying structures of human thought and culture, particularly through the lens of myths and kinship systems. Lévi-Strauss's work revolutionized anthropology by emphasizing the importance of abstract structures in understanding social phenomena.
