On the communicative turn in philosophy : exploring intersubjectivity, community and the ethics of dialogue

Abstract

Beyond language and pragmatics, this is an argument for communication as a philosophical force in its own right. Philosophy has long grappled with questions of meaning and human connection, yet communication itself remains an underexplored concept in the field. Claude Mangion shifts the focus by examining how communication has shaped debates on intersubjectivity and ethics. By tracing its role across key philosophical discussions, Mangion offers a new outlook on how communicative exchanges inform our understanding of self and society. Accessible and rigorously argued, it bridges the gap between philosophy and communication theory, making it a useful reference for students and scholars alike. A compelling argument for thinking of communication as a philosophical practice, whether you're exploring community, the ethics of dialogue, or the foundations of intersubjectivity.
