[ecrea] new book series: philosophy/communication

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.
