🎬Structuralism by Tom Nicholas: • Structuralism and Semi...
In today's crunchy, nutritious, theory-laden video, we discuss the basic problem that many people have with postmodernism and so on - namely, that it approaches the existence of things in a completely different way. The late 20th century shattered the view that was dominant for 25 centuries, since the philosopher Parmenides: that things simply exist. We follow Ferdinand de Saussure and Claude Levi-Strauss on their path from figuring out language to figuring out society to trying to figure out everything, how it finally failed, and why it was replaced by post-structuralism.
