O knihe

Structuralism is an approach to the human sciences that
attempts to analyze a specific field (for instance,
mythology) as a complex system of interrelated parts. It
began in linguistics with the work of Ferdinand de
Saussure
(1857-1913). But many French intellectuals perceived
it to
have a wider application, and the model was soon
modified
and applied to other fields, such as anthropology,
psychoanalysis, literary theory and architecture. This
ushered in the dawn of structuralism as not just a
method,
but also an intellectual movement that came to take
existentialism's pedestal in 1960s France. Structuralism
enjoyed little popularity, and its general stance of
antihumanism was in sheer opposition to the Sartrean
existentialism that preceded it. But in the 1970s, it
came
under internal fire from critics who accused it of being
too rigid and ahistorical. However, many of
structuralism's
theorists, from Michel Foucault to Jacques Lacan,
continue
to assert an influence on continental philosophy, and
many
of the fundamental assumptions of its critics, that
is, of
adherents of poststructuralism, are but a
continuation of
structuralism.
