The Quest for Mind: Piaget, Levi-Strauss, and the Structuralist Movement

Paiget and Levi-Strauss are embarked on parallel scientific enterprises; and their work represents the most significant contemporary innovation in the sciences of man. The author's desire to present the ideas of these two men, to specify previously unnoticed areas of common ground, and to describe the importance and promise of the structuralist movement which they have launched is what prompted him to write this book.
