Claude Lévi-Strauss frequently expressed the opinion (also in a conversation with the author of this article) that the greatest cataclysm he had witnessed is the inconceivable growth of the human population. As a rule, researchers studying his works are embarrassed by this declaration. Nonetheless, the author shows how a correct comprehension of the demographic aspects of the vision of the world proposed by Lévi-Strauss is indispensable for a suitable interpretation of all of his works, written by a moralist trying to concisely discover the reason for the evil present in the contemporary world and to find means that could save mankind from that evil.
