*CALL FOR PAPERS: Philosophy of Communication*

‘Philosophy of Communication’ is a very broad expression. Although it 
seems to be involved with philosophy and communication, it is not taken 
for granted that philosophy of communication is the part of the field of 
communication or philosophy. We usually assume to think that if one 
thinks the concept of communication thoroughly, it means to think it 
philosophically. Communication theories and studies have designated the 
core intention, to understand what communication is and how we 
communicate. However, communication theories and /or studies are 
basically not a /philosophy of/ communication.

Adorno states that ‘if philosophy can be defined at all, it is an effort 
to express things one cannot speak about, to help express the 
nonidentical despite the fact that expressing it identifies it at the 
same time’ (as cited in Hogh, 2017, p.151). On the other hand, 
communication is usually composed of just the opposite, what the 
/expressible/ is. Speech and language imply ‘to express out loud’ while 
‘unsayable’, ‘unnamable’, ‘silence’ and so on have been decoded as if 
they are also a sort of speech. In this sense, communication always 
makes its subject matter expressible. Therefore, Adorno’s point, to 
‘/express the inexpressible/’,is not just valid for philosophy but also 
for communication.

There is no doubt that interdisciplinary study means to develop new 
perspectives in order to expand the boundaries of fields. As one of the 
interdisciplinary study, philosophy of communication needs to be 
demonstrated by following the /inexpressible/. Moment’s upcoming 
Philosophy of Communication Issue will focus once again on the 
significance of asking what philosophy of communication is. The 
question, what makes a study, a study of philosophy of communication, 
gives rise to consider this field’s past, present and future. You may 
define, redefine and/or non-define philosophy of communication, in order 
to present your study as a study of philosophy of communication.

If you would like to contribute to Moment’s June 2018 /Philosophy of 
Communication Issue/ which aims to both discuss and create philosophy of 
communication, we are waiting for your studies until *March 15, 2018*.
