Aims and Scope
Empedocles aims to provide a publication and discussion platform for those working at the interface of philosophy and the study of communication, in all its aspects. The editors believe that philosophical reflection and analysis regarding communication is an intellectually exciting enterprise in its own right, but also important for today’s globalising and increasingly mediatised societies. They also believe that approaching traditional philosophical disciplines, topics and questions from the point of view of the impact communicative action and practices have on them is a necessary but underdeveloped area of intellectual activity.
This Journal is published in cooperation with the Philosophy of Communication section of ECREA.
Its editorial team is formed by Dr Johan Siebers (University of Central Lancashire), Prof. Dr. Bart Vandenabeele (University of Ghent) and Dr. Tino Meitz (University of Surrey).
