Associate Professor of Philosophy and Sociology, West Virginia State University; President/CEO, The Mocombeian Foundation, Inc., Florida, USA

Paul C. Mocombe is a Haitian philosopher and sociologist from Oboy, Haiti. Mocombe earned his Bachelor of Arts in History and African-American studies, Master of Arts in Sociology, and Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Studies (Philosophy and Sociology) from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida. A former Visiting Professor of Philosophy and Sociology at Bethune Cookman University, Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Sociology at West Virginia State University, and the President/CEO of The Mocombeian Foundation, Inc., he is interested in the application of social theory (his general theory of “Phenomenological Structuralism” and “Consciousness Field Theory”) to contemporary issues such as consciousness, race, class, and capitalism (globalization). He is the author of over one-hundred peer-reviewed articles and thirty books, among them are, “The Theory of Phenomenological Structuralism”; “Capitalism, Lakouism, and Libertarian Communism”; “Jesus and the Streets”; “Race and Class Distinctions Within Black Communities”; “Language, Literacy, and Pedagogy in Postindustrial Societies”; “A labor Approach to the Development of the Self or Modern Personality: The Case of Public Education, Education in Globalization”; “Mocombe’s Reading Room Series”; and “The Mocombeian Strategy: The Reason for, and Answer to Black Failure in Capitalist Education.”

Presently, Mocombe, using the methods of critical theory via his theory of phenomenological structuralism, explores the emergence of human consciousness via his “consciousness field theory.” His intent is to connect the physics of consciousness emergence to psychological and cognitive developments among human beings in order to develop an antihuman psychology against behaviorism, psychoanalysis, and humanism. Mocombe believes and seeks to demonstrate that an antihuman psychology, which decenters the human subject in favor of recentering nature, is the more appropriate form of organizing and recursively reproducing our being-in-the-world in our material resource frameworks against capitalist exploitation, overproduction, and overconsumption.

Mocombe currently lives in Lauderhill, Florida with his wife, Tiara S. Mocombe.
