[ecrea] new book series: philosophy/communication

Wed Oct 09 05:05:23 GMT 2013


Philosophy/Communication:
Studies in Hermeneutics, Ethics, and Critical Theory

Ramsey Eric Ramsey and Amit Pinchevski, Editors
& Calvin O. Schrag, Advisory Editor

Books published in this series break fresh ground concerning our understanding of communication by employing the thinking of continental philosophy to investigate the phenomena of communication. With communication understood as the manner in which human beings together find the world meaningful, the studies in this series are concerned in one way or another with interpretation (hermeneutics), responsibility to the other (ethics), and the sociopolitical consequences of being-in-the-world (critical theory).

Each title in this series demonstrates ways of thinking that are directed toward the depth and breadth of our understanding of communication and its consequences for social life. Exploring all the manners in which communication occurs, these books engage the practice first and foremost theoretically and philosophically, using case studies only as examples. The wide range of philosophical styles in the continental tradition and their combinations are defining features of books in this series (including but not limited to, phenomenology, poststructuralism, psychoanalysis, pragmatism, feminism, gender and race studies).

As questions of communication take center stage in a globalized world, the study of communication at its most fundamental level sees past the innovations that serve to transfer mere information and gets at the grounding communication supplies to every social situation. Consequently, Philosophy/Communication seeks to provide understandings such that the most pressing questions of ethics and politics find their rightful place at the heart of contemporary thinking.

Originally launched in 2002 at Purdue University Press, the Philosophy/Communication series has included some of the most respected names in the philosophy of communication including books by Calvin O. Schrag and Michael Hyde, as well as books by the next generation of philosophy and communication researchers such as David Gunkel, Corey Anton, and Pat Arneson.

Now freshly launched by Duquesne University Press, the series expands on the Press’s publishing program in ethics, philosophy, and phenomenology.
