What do you undersrand by structuralism?
The word “structuralism” is used in several different fields of study, and the precise definition varies from one disciple to the next. The one common component is that structuralists explain the phenomena they study in terms of the arrangement of and interactions between the component parts of a system.
For example, in anthropology, a structuralist might point to the similarities between food getting strategies and marriage customs, and many (following the work of Claude Levi-Strauss) would propose that these structures reveal something interesting about the way the human mind operates.
In the philosophy of science, the word generally refers to a “metatheory" (following Sneed) that contains all of the components of a familiar theory in physics, and also a set of constraints that are “higher order” laws describing the relationships between the components of the theory.
