Organizational ethics of Smith and Levinas
Dialogic hypertextuality
This essay demarcates between and among schools of dialogue, differentiating relational points of meaning origins. Contrasting dialogic roots constitute distinctions in social meaning and signification. Schools of dialogue embrace the relational interplay of address and response, with exchanges consisting of multiple simultaneous conversations. Their co-presence announces dialogic hypertextuality, which acknowledges and affirms multiple simultane…
Deely’s Augustine
The analysis outlines John Deely's commitment to Augustine's implications for a valueladen semiotic understanding of postmodern inquiry. Deely's value-laden project centers on semiotic signification and semiosis. His work announces the inexorable link between semiotic theory and the search for understanding that matters. He uplifts the importance of engaging signs via context and relational association, uniting ethics and semiotics. Deely's orien…
A Banality of Evil
An Encyclopedia of Communication Ethics
As a great educator and philosopher in China, Confucius attempted to resurrect Chinese social values for a harmonious society in the chaotic time of the Spring and Autumn period in Chinese history. His teachings mainly focus on the establishment of an ethical system, embedded in the four concatenated concepts of ren” (humanism, love, benevolence, compassion), “yi” (righteousness, right action), “li” (rite, propriety), and “zhi” (wisdom), through …
Gadamer
Hans-Georg Gadamer's project of philosophical hermeneutics is an interpretive welcome for new insights and meaning, emerging from respectful dialogic encounter with the particularity of a given text. Gadamer's revelatory undertaking walks between the extremes of subjectivism and objectivism. As the title of Richard Bernstein's (1983) book, Beyond Objectivism and Relativism, still suggests, there is a life world between interpreter and text. This …

Communicative Ethics
This essay examines the importance of semioethics in relationship to the work of Levinas. The interplay of semioethics and Levinas’s commitment to “ethics as first philosophy” announces the communicative height and weight of a semiotic signification that demands responsive human action. Semioethics is a communicative act that wades through the plethora of signs in the global communication production system with the objective of discerning signs o…

Levinas's Rhetorical Demand
Dialogue Theory
Dialogue finds life through prior and continuing dialogues; meaning is discovered through responses to narratives and emergent questions within historical existence, which arbitrate demands within a proximate dialogic occasion. Explication of this perspective situates dialogue within a postmodern moment, connects it to Buber's historical account of the development of the term, frames the ethical implications of this form of communicative practice…
Beyond dialogue
This essay examines the interplay between dialogue and alterity, outlining Emmanuel Levinas’s unique contribution to the study and practice of human dialogue, whose differences with Martin Buber texture an enlarged sense of identity associated with the notion of dialogue. To flesh out this contribution, this essay follows a threefold sequence of exploration: (1) a review of select essays that explore differences between Buber and Levinas; (2) a r…

Dialogically Speaking
Maurice Friedman is one of the principle exemplars of dialogic theory and practice. From his dissertation, Martin Buber: The Life of Dialogue (Friedman, 1959), and throughout his career, he provided ground-breaking contributions to dialogic inquiry. It is wonderful that Kenneth Paul Kramer, a former student of Friedman at Temple University, edited this important volume. Additionally, I am appreciative of Maurice Friedman, who wrote the foreword t…
Civic Rhetoric-Meeting the Communal Interplay of the Provincial and the Cosmopolitan
President Obama’s commencement address on the University of Notre Dame campus evoked substantial controversy, providing public demonstration of rhetorical differences and demands generated by differing provincial and cosmopolitan positions. Icontend that public civic rhetoric, in an era of narrative and virtue contention, must address the creative interplay of both provincial and cosmopolitan perspectives. In this essay I examine reactions to the…

Dialogic civility as pragmatic ethical praxis
This essay offers dialogic civility as a guiding interpersonal metaphor in a time of narrative disagreement, an era in which ethical standpoints that traditionally have undergirded discourse are in contrast, dispute, and disruption.
