Who among the following maintains that social structure has nothing to do with empirical reality?
C. Levi-Strauss
Claude Levi-Strauss argued that social structure is not a description of observable social relations but a logical model that the anthropologist constructs to reveal the unconscious rules underlying social life.
For him, empirical social relations form the raw data, while social structure lies at a deeper, abstract level and therefore has nothing directly to do with empirical reality.
Marion Levy, Raymond Firth and Evans-Pritchard, in contrast, treated social structure as an actually existing network of statuses, roles or relations that could be observed on the ground.
Hence, the scholar who maintains that social structure has nothing to do with empirical reality is C. Levi-Strauss.
