This essay explores how philosophy of communication can pursue truth while attending to difference and multiplicity in postmodernity. Using the method of interpretive inquiry outlined by Ronald C. Arnett (2007), the essay looks to Joseph Ratzinger (1927–2022), who was Pope Benedict XVI, as an exemplar practitioner of philosophy of communication emboldened with truth claims. The metaphors that emerge from Ratzinger’s life and works include reasonable faith, universals and particulars, and timeless questions. Together they inform a Catholic philosophy of communication simultaneously responsive to postmodernity and centered on truth
