Description
Communicative Praxis and the Space of Subjectivity explores the interconnected fields of philosophy and communication, revealing how our understanding of ourselves and the world is shaped by the interplay between language, social practices, and action.
The author develops an original concept that integrates communication and praxis, highlighting the ways in which discourse and action are intertwined to form meaning in our personal and social lives. This concept accommodates novel notions of reference, self-implicature, and rhetoric, which are developed within a hermeneutical framework.
The book examines the multifaceted nature of communicative praxis, encompassing saying, writing, and doing that is directed towards something, by someone, and for someone. By exploring this concept, the author sheds light on the dynamic interface between philosophy and communication studies, revealing how thought emerges from everyday social and political interactions.
