This book provides insight into the nature of the relationship
between dialogue and care. The work is textured and mindful of the
human need for authentic communication between embedded human
communicative agents. This is because the authors are well-versed
in the field, having published articles, books, and book chapters
dealing with the cultivation of human communication and human
relationships through aspects of care, dialogue, and other
philosophical preconditions. This study approaches the relationship
of care and dialogue through a constructive hermeneutic approach
situated within the current historical moment, while relying on a
rich and textured historical tradition of philosophical writings
that invite new discussion on the value of this relationship. In a
historical era of rapidly changing technologies, it is often easier
to text, twitter, and e-mail in a hypertext mode that fails to
acknowledge the dialogic potential in human relationships. This
book reminds us that even in these technologically sophisticated
times, we gain more in human relationships through care and
dialogue than in quick, instant communication. It is unique from
other books dealing with the relationship between dialogue and care
in human relationships because it integrates literature involving
communication ethics and philosophies of communication framed
around the metaphor of "care" to provide a more textured insight
related to human communication. The discussion is an alternative to
a social scientific approach. Readers will gain a thorough and
comprehensive understanding of the issue(s) involved from different
perspectives. Many other books on these matters are also
theoretically laden with deep philosophical concepts, but they are
often devoid of connections to everyday experiences which limits
application of the ideas. The authors address this by a text that
explores those philosophical and theoretically laden concepts
related to "care" in an applied manner, so that the practice of
these ideas is situated within actual human interaction. This study
provides an in-depth exploration specifically dealing with care as
a philosophical and ethical paradigm for living in the world. This
book is distinctive as it encompasses theorists/scholars from
multiple perspectives that include sociological, psychological,
philosophical, and from both social science and humanities
approaches; all of which come together within a communication
framework. The purpose of this book is to provide readers with the
opportunity to consider multiple ways of enhancing human
communication through discovering how the notion of "care" has the
ability to shape and guide communicative exchanges. Care is posited
as a philosophy of communication and more specifically as a
communicative ethic that can be embraced in interpersonal and
organizational communicative contexts. Our goal is to provide a
textured understanding of "care" as it relates to human
communication and as it is foregrounded in philosophical thought.
This text will help develop philosophical understanding of this
topic that is inescapably linked to human communication. This book
will interest all in communication, sociology, psychology, and
anthropology.
