Biogenetic structuralism is a body of theory in anthropology . The perspective grounds discussions of learning, culture, personality and social action in neuroscience . The original book of that title Laughlin and d Aquili 1974 represented an interdisciplinary merger of anthropology, psychology and the neurosciences. It presented the view that the universal structures characteristic of human language and culture, cognition about time and space, affect certain psychopathologies, and the like were due to the genetically predisposed organization of the nervous system. It seemed to the authors preposterous that the invariant patterns of behavior, cognition and culture being discussed in various structuralist theories in anthropology, psychology and literary criticism could be lodged anywhere other than in the nervous system. After all, every thought, every image, every feeling and action is demonstrably mediated by the nervous system. Moreover, it seemed possible to develop a theoretical perspective that was non dualistic in modelling mind and body, was not reductionistic in the positivist sense i.e., that the physical sciences can give a complete account of all things mental cultural , and was informed by all reasonable sources of data about human consciousness and culture. In other words, no explanatory account of culture is complete without encompassing what we know about the structures in the nervous system mediating culture for example, music, which is a cultural universal mediated by demonstrable neurophysiological structures see Biomusicology .

Structuralism is a theory in the philosophy of mathematics that holds that mathematical theories describe structures, and that mathematical objects are exhaustively defined by their place in such structures, consequently having no Intrinsic and extrinsic properties philosophy intrinsic properties . For instance, it would maintain that all that needs to be known about the number 1 is that is its the first whole number after 0. Likewise all the other whole numbers are defined by their places in a structure, the number line . Other examples of mathematical objects might include line geometry line s and Plane geometry planes in geometry, or elements and operations in abstract algebra . Structuralism is an epistemologically realism philosophy realistic view in that it holds that mathematical statements have an objective truth value. However, its central claim only relates to what kind of entity a mathematical object is, not to what kind of existence mathematical objects or structures have not, in other words, to their ontology . The kind of existence mathematical objects have would clearly be dependent on that of the structures in which they are embedded different sub varieties of structuralism make different ontological claims in this regard. ref cite book last Brown first James title ...
