Basic to human culture are binary oppositions, such as eating raw or cooked

Full Idea:
Lévi-Strauss made canonic to French structuralism the idea that human culture could be understood through a series of binary oppositionsn - the difference between what could be eaten raw and what cooked being one of the most fundamental.

A reaction:
My guess is that such oppositions can often be illuminating, but will always be eventually judged as too simplistic.
