Episode description
Our philosophical search for the human condition has been a relatively provincial undertaking considered solely from the perspective of Europe and European philosophy. Yet what about philosophical anthropology — that is, what does the confrontation with different cultures mean for this Enlightenment subject?
Today, we will discuss this confrontation based on the work of Claude Lévi-Strauss, one of the most central figures of structuralism, and we will discuss both criticisms and continuations of this tradition through the work of Eduardo Viveiros de Castro.
