Empedocles

Aims & Scope

Empedocles publishes articles, essays and book reviews that deal with the philosophical dimensions of communication and the communicative dimensions of philosophy.

We do not favour particular philosophical schools and traditions over others and we are open to all theoretical orientations in communication studies.

We are an interdisciplinary journal for those working at the interface of philosophy and the study of communication, in all its aspects.
