About This Item
University of Chicago, 1963-01-01. Hardcover. Very Good. 0x0x0. [From the library of noted scholar Richard A. Macksey.] Near fine. Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Small tear to jacket. Clean, unmarked pages. xlviii, 96 p., 22 cm. <br> "Durkheim and Mauss claim that the individual mind is incapable of classification, and they seek the origin of the 'classificatory function' in society. On the basis of an intensive examination of forms and principles of symbolic classification reported from the Australian aborigines, the Zuni and traditional China, they try to establish a formal correspondence between social and symbolic classification." <br> "Richard A. Macksey was a celebrated Johns Hopkins University professor whose affiliation with the university spanned six and a half decades. A legendary figure not only in his own fields of critical theory, comparative literature, and film studies but across all the humanities, Macksey possessed enormous intellectual capacity and a deeply insightful human nature. He was a man who read and wrote in six languages, was instrumental in launching a new era in structuralist thought in America, maintained a personal library containing a staggering collection of books and manuscripts, inspired generations of students to follow him to the thorniest heights of the human intellect, and penned or edited dozens of volumes of scholarly works, fiction, poetry, and translation." - Johns Hopkins University
