Entropology
Description
Via eoht:
"In 1955, French anthropologist and philosopher Claude Lévi-Strauss, in his Sad Tropics, coined the term "entropology".
In 1961, Levi-Strauss, in his A World on Wane, by Lévi-Strauss, defined things as follows:
- “Entropology, not anthropology, should be the word for the discipline that devotes itself to the study of this process of disintegration in its most highly evolved forms.”
The term can loosely be thought of as subjects interjecting on verbal discussion of entropy. Entropology, according to another definition, is the science of analyzing the decline of vitality and energy.
An “entropologist”, a Lévi-Strauss term, is defined as an anthropologist whose studies and theories rest on the prediction of the ultimate thermodynamic leveling of all culture. Some have come to refer to the work of American writer Thomas Pynchon as entropology."
