Sempre più spesso si preferiscono, per lo studio della comunicazione, approcci che privilegiano l'analisi psicologica, sociologica, politica o economica. Il volume curato da Claudia Bianchi e Nicla Vassallo, invece, si concentra sull'approccio filosofico e presenta contributi di esperti autorevoli di diverse discipline filosofiche: sintassi, pragmatica, semiotica, ermeneutica, retorica, epistemiologia. In particolare, raccoglie interventi di Andrea Moro, Eva Picardi, Claudia Bianchi, Ugo Volli, Maurizio Ferraris, Frans van Eemeren e Peter Houtlosser, Nicla Vassallo.

The great question of the meaning of life breaks down into a number of different questions, some of which must be answered differently and uniquely. Baggini offers philosophy not as a direct answer to this age-old question, but a method of sorts that gives us the resources for answering these smaller questions.

Sometimes implicit existence assumptions contradict explicit beliefs and are undesirable in that sense.

The study aims at exposing Meinong's ideas that may be of interest to analytic philosophers. It contains all the basic information concerning Meinong's theory of objects with a special focus upon 'objectives', which are Meinong's propositions. Meinong's theory of meaning and his epistemological views are discussed in detail. An outline of his conception of truth, which is classified as firmly realistic, is followed by a review of the critical works touching upon Meinong's epistemological ideas. Finally, Meinong's theory of objects is presented as inspiring the development of Meinongian logics,
