Philosophy of Communication Ethics is a unique and timely
contribution to the study of communication ethics. This series of
essays articulates unequivocally the intimate connection between
philosophy of communication and communication ethics. This
scholarly volume assumes that there is a multiplicity of
communication ethics. What distinguishes one communication ethic
from another is the philosophy of communication in which a
particular ethic is grounded. Philosophy of communication is the
core ingredient for understanding the importance of and the
difference between and among communication ethics. The position
assumed by this collection is consistent with Alasdair MacIntyre's
insights on ethics. In A Short History of Ethics, he begins with
one principal assertion-philosophy is subversive. If one cannot
think philosophically, one cannot question taken-for-granted
assumptions. In the case of communication ethics, to fail to think
philosophically is to miss the bias, prejudice, and assumptions
that constitute a given communication ethic.

Being a child in American society can be problematic. Twenty
percent of American children live in poverty, parents are divorcing
at high rates, and educational institutions are not always
fulfilling their goals. Against this backdrop, children are often
patronized or idealized by adults. Rarely do we look for the
strengths within children that can serve as the foundation for
growth and development. In Rethinking Childhood , twenty
contributors, coming from the disciplines of anthropology,
government, law, psychology, education, religion, philosophy, and
sociology, provide a multidisciplinary view of childhood by
listening and understanding the ways children shape their own
futures. Topics include education, poverty, family life, divorce,
neighborhood life, sports, the internet, and legal status. In all
these areas, children have both voice and agency. They construct
their own social networks and social reality, sort out their own
values, and assess and cope with the perplexing world around them.
The contributors present ideas that lead not only to new analyses
but also to innovative policy applications. Taken together, these
essays develop a new paradigm for understanding childhood as
children experience these years. This paradigm challenges readers
to develop fresh ways of listening to children's voices that enable
both children and adults to cross the barriers of age, experience,
and stereotyping that make communication difficult. A volume in the
Rutgers Series in Childhood Studies, edited by Myra
Bluebond-Langner.
