If we are to avoid the Dark Age that the war between the ideologically entranced and the religiously intransigent could bring about, then we will need to shift from a global economy of industrial nation-states to a planetary ecumené of noetic polities in which ecology, and not economics, is the governing science.

— William Irwin Thompson

Claude Levi-Strauss

In case you missed the news: Claude Levi-Strauss passes (so old, I thought he had died some time ago). A brilliant thinker who turned the field of anthroplogy upside down.(As a former anthro. major, I deeply appreciate him).

what a fascinating man!

Structuralism, Totemism (and it's refutation) http://dannyreviews.com/h/Totemism.html , I am just trying to comprehend some of this. And there is so much more! What an amazing mind this man had.

I did not know that you were an anthropology major. No wonder you so appreciated this man.

Thank you for giving me a new tangent to explore!

Plays well with others
