Claude Lévi-Strauss

Readers have asked me whether I will write something about Clause Levi-Strauss. I may but not casually. There are people, or thinkers, that you can't write about casually or off-handedly I can't speak about Plato's Republic, without re-reading it for the umpteenth time. Same with Strauss. There is complexity that warrants careful reading and examination, and I have not read him carefully for years. I was waiting for him to die to do so, perhaps.
