Structuralism: Structuralism in philosophy is an approach that analyzes phenomena by examining their underlying structures and organizing principles. It emphasizes the relationships and interdependencies between elements rather than their individual qualities, aiming to uncover fundamental patterns and principles. Structuralists believe that these structures can be found in all aspects of human experience, from language to culture to society. See also F. de Saussure, Cl. Lévi-Strauss, M. Foucault._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
