>Empedocles aims to provide a publication and

>interface of philosophy and the study of 
>communication, in all its aspects. This Journal

>This special issue explores the idea of paradox 
>and indirect communication. The articles examine 
>the ways in which some of the most productive, 
>creative and enduring forms of communication are 
>articulated through paradoxes, and how those 
>ideas which are most difficult to communicate, 
>such as philosophical and religious beliefs, are 
>often expressed through paradox. The articles 
>explore paradoxes within different forms of 
>communication, from serious and comic 
>performance to music, religious parable, 
>political economy and the art of logos and icons.
