Open-access Lévi-Strauss and the wild thought

AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    ABSTRACT

    The essay proposes a reading of The Wild Thought in order to reconstruct Lévi-Strauss’s thesis according to which totemism is a symbolic regime of the wild thought. Therefore, some points will be highlighted: (i) the anthropological-philosophical problem of the concept of wild; (ii) the precise definition and complex use of the concept in The Wild Thought; (iii) the epistemological-modal distinction between wild and tamed thought; (iv) the totemic logic and the imagetic ontology of the wild thought; and, as conclusion, (v) its cosmological and philosophical performance for the intelligibility of the Anthropocene.

    KEYWORDS:
    Savage; nature-culture; totemism; transformation; Anthropocene
