Content:
Structuralism was abandoned long before its potential as a cognitive science could be realized. Reviving it with what we know today about the self-organizing capacity of living systems provides new insights into the role of sign relations in the evolution of higher-order consciousness. Treating the signs of language as inherently evolutionary properties of mind offers a window into the constitution of consciousness at the most profound level.
