Synopsis

The article was written on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of the French anthropologist and structuralist Claude Lévi-Strauss. According to Myroslav Popovych, the basis for Lévi-Strauss's conceptualization of the concept of structure was his appeal to the problem of the expansion of the universe in the scientific concepts of Newton and Leibniz.  The article also highlights the essence of the difference in views between Lévi-Strauss and Lucien Lévi-Bruhl on the issue of understanding the mechanisms of thinking in archaic cultures.
