Abstract:
Structuralism was abandoned before its potential as a cognitive science could
be realized. Reviving it with what we know today provides new insights into
the structure of consciousness. Treating the relations between actual
linguistic signs as organic properties of mind reveals a set of conceptual
relations that lie beyond the constructs of cognitive psychology, in the
transpersonal realm of higher order consciousness. This is where correlates
can be found between linguistic sign relations, ultimate states of
consciousness, and the elemental structure of myths.
