What Dominique Pagani says Dominique Pagani respects Lévi-Strauss's broad musical culture and his work on kinship1 . He often returns to the overture of The Raw and the Cooked. There Lévi-Strauss makes Wagner the "undeniable father of the structural analysis of myths," replaces linguistics with music as the model and writes that music and myth "enter time only to leave it"2 . From the raw-cooked pair, he retains the intermediate term, the fermented or the rotten, placed between the natural and the conventional3 . From the study of kinship, he retains the incest prohibition, universal without being natural. Yet he counts Lévi-Strauss among the neo-Kantians: Lévi-Strauss accepts the formula "Kantianism without a transcendental subject," which does away with history4 . He criticizes him for thinking only about "societies without history," which opens the way to culturalist relativism and to the liquidation of Marxism5 . He also criticizes him for ignoring praxis, for his late Malthusianism and, in Tristes Tropiques, for the fantasy of the white man alone among the natives.
