Synopsis

The book gives prominence to the way the concept of communication has been deployed within philosophical debates. It shows how philosophers have adopted this concept in their discussions on the issues of intersubjectivity, community and the ethics of dialogue.

Although mainstream philosophers do not, as yet, consider the philosophy of communication as a branch in its own right, instead subsuming it within the philosophy of language as pragmatics, the concept of communication is broader than that of language. This book aims to develop the relationship between communication and philosophy further.

Mangion hopes to encourage others to conduct further research by aligning communication with questions that are of a philosophical nature.
