In today's globally connected world, communication functions as the human action binding us all together. Our shared destiny emerges from our history and our culture. Communication Theory Through the Ages takes us on a guided tour of the questions each generation asks of itself, and , the answers that other generations suggest we engage. The experiential wisdom of philosophy blends with the eloquence of rhetoric resulting in a pedagogy of discovery. Students and teachers, beginners and professionals, will delight in the mindful journey of this book written for our time! -Richard L. Lanigan, Laureate Fellow and Executive Director, International Communicology Institute, Washington, DC, USA Some ontological inquiries about the human `wonderland' - existential in time and space, with body and mind, from individual to community perspectives, on me and God, of language and culture - are offered in this book. The authors play the excellent role of guides taking their readers to `must-see' spots of the human wonderland with some interesting stories of their observation. The best part of the journey to this wonderland will begin when a reader empirically engages in exploring his/her existential wonderland. And, on this journey if the reader happens to meet his/her `subject,' witnessing all along, he/she might confirm if all is in the mind. -Du-Won Lee, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Media Communication Studies, Chongju University, South Korea
