Title: From the Consciousness Field to the Constitution of Society
Abstract:
This work explores the phenomenological structural basis of Mocombe’s consciousness field theory. The paper critically assesses Mocombe’s consciousness field theory within the larger body of contemporary ontological debates regarding the nature, origin, and constitution of consciousness in the universe. The work goes on to highlight how human consciousness and society are constituted from Mocombe’s consciousness field to societal social structure, which Mocombe calls social class language game.
Key Words: Structuration theory; phenomenological structuralism; structure/agency; mythopraxis; quantum mechanics; social class language game; Haitian Epistemology; Haitian/Vilokan Idealism; consciousness field theory
