Why is a dog “Fido” but a bird “Peter”? In this brilliant short text, Claude Lévi-Strauss shows that the way we name animals reveals a hidden structure of thought. What looks trivial turns out to be a system: classification, metaphor, and how we place ourselves in the world, everything is at play. Clear, surprising, and quietly profound, this short essay will change how you see the ordinary.
