On Mediation Toward a Cultural-Historical Understanding
TL;DR: The use of mediation is a key notion in dialectical approaches to under-standing consciousness, thinking, and thought as mentioned in this paper, however, the scholarly liter- ature is replete with uses of mediation that are inconsistent with the dialectical framework within it, which has the specific function to articulate and explain the unit of a phenomenon and the corresponding unit of scien- tific analysis.
