In this book, the authors have chosen 32 selections from the work of Plato, Leibniz, Hegel, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, Lacan, Derrida, Sloterdijk, and others and have organized these texts thematically, rather than historically, in seven sections : consciousness ; intersubjective understanding; language ; writing and context ; difference and subjectivity ; gift and exchange ; and communicability and community. Taken together, 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.
