Paul C. Mocombe
Published : Jan. 30, 2018
Abstract
Building on structurationist theory of sociology, Vygotskyian
sociocultural theory, Chomskyian cognitive linguistics, and postmodern and
poststructural logic regarding the decentered subject and indeterminacy of meaning
this work explores the origins and nature of human consciousness, cognition, social
action, learning, and development within Paul C. Mocombeās phenomenological
structural sociology, phenomenological structuralism. The article attempts to
synthesize Vygotskyian sociocultural theory with Chomskyian cognitive linguistics
in order to offer a more complete understanding of human consciousness, action,
cognition, learning, and development amidst the postmodern and post-structural
attempt to decenter the subject.
