Us S??^s ? ? i parent? by Claude L?vi-Strauss has recently been published in France, and an English translation of this work will soon be avail able. Since social scientists seem to be increasingly mesmerized by L?vi-Strauss, it would appear well worth while to consider and discuss some of the salient aspects of his thought. Our aim is to deal with a somewhat formal but nonetheless basic problem relating to his writings, namely the problem of what exactly L?vi-Strauss is referring to when he speaks of 'elementary stmctures According to L?vi-Strauss him self, he is concerned with models rather than with empirical reality (1965: 17; cf. 1967: xix-xx). Therefore, in order to understand fully the meaning of his argu ments, we must investigate and if possible try to' establish the precise content of the word model as he uses it in those of his publications in which it plays an important role. The subject of this paper concerns two articles by L?vi-Strauss : 'La Notion de Structure en Ethnologie' (1958) and 'Crit?res Scien tifiques dans les Disciplines Sociales et Humaines' (1966), where the following table is presented in order to establish the main differences among four branches of the social sciences: SocioEthnoEthno Histoire logie graphie logie
