[ecrea] New Book: Philosophy of Communication

Thu Sep 06 23:02:07 GMT 2012



New Book:

Philosophy of Communication. Briankle G. Chang and Garnet C. Butchart, eds. MIT Press, 2012.

This volume brings together foundational works that address the core questions, concepts, and problems of communication in philosophical terms. Thirty-two selections from the work of Plato, Leibniz, Hegel, Husserl, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, Benjamin, Lacan, Derrida, Sloterdijk, and others are organized thematically, rather than historically, in seven sections: consciousness; intersubjective understanding; language; writing and context; difference and subjectivity; gift and exchange; and communicability and community. These texts not only lay the foundation for establishing communication as a distinct philosophical topic but also provide an outline of what philosophy of communication might look like.

Briankle G. Chang is Associate Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
Garnet C. Butchart is Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of South Florida, Tampa.
