Показать описание
This video lecture discusses the meaning, nature, and dynamics of the philosophical doctrine called "structuralism".

Structuralism is one of the most influential intellectual movements in the twentieth-century which embraces a wide variety of intellectual disciplines, such as linguistics, aesthetics, anthropology, sociology, and psychoanalysis. But it must be noted that structuralism is above all a “method”. As a method, structuralism aims to analyze isolated events or meanings in terms of their underlying structural laws. It seeks to comprehend “particulars” by describing their interrelationship within the totality of general codes which govern them. It also looks for the deep and other hidden structures beneath the surface manifestations of meaning.

So basically structuralism seeks to find commonalities within systems, is what I get.

Would be much better with someone speaking not a robot! Sounds boring and hard to engage.

That hand writing across the screen is irritatingly obnoxious. It would have been better with just the text, minus that hand.
