I admire Claude Levi Strauss very much. He is a French anthropology, and he has done important works about anthropological problems, specialy about the relationship problem related with the incest taboo in primitives societies, and mythological problems. His theoretical work is based on the structuralism school, this theory studies meanly the relations that exist in a sistem and doesn`t study the aspect individualy.
His work also gives atention to linguistics, because to analize the relationship problem is necesary to see the terms that the persons designate to families ties, terms as for example: mother, uncle, father and son.
I admire Levi Strauss because his linguistic theory also is applied to arts problems, he has an analysis aesthetic very interesting about Las Meninas of Velasquez.
His studies has inspired to later researchers in the world as Saussure, Michael Foucault, Humberto Eco and other people.
Levi Strauss is alive yet, in fact the last year was celebrated his hundredth birthday.
