Opis

This pioneering book, on the ethical and moral dimensions of communication and communication systems in the modern world, was originally published in 1974. It derived from an International Symposium on communication, consisting of world-class scholars ranging from philosophy and anthropology, to cybernetics and psychiatry, and from literary criticism to the social and behavioural sciences.

The uses of communication are ubiquitous. The breadth, depth, scope and reach of every human mind depends upon the communication experiences one has had, or is capable of having. How people confront one another depends upon the quality and reach of their individual minds not solely on their words. This book provides an opportunity to explore with these far-ranging scholars the ethical, moral, and "pragmatic" communication dilemmas of our modern age. It is as pertinent today as it was when it was first published. "
