THE COMMUNICATIONAL NUCLEUS OF PHILOSOPHICAL THINKING
THE COMMUNICATIONAL NUCLEUS OF PHILOSOPHICAL THINKING

Summary/Abstract: The current research is a meta-analysis that circumscribes to Communication Philosophy. The inquiry is ranged among what is called the dynamics of reshaping the conceptual standard-matrix of Communication. It is aimed to be an explicit answer to a double question: i)what makes a communicational discourse to be „philosophy‛ and ii) what accurately individualizes the philosophical discourse, making from a text „a philosophical text‛, a philosophical discourse, a philosophical message? We formulate an answer founded on two arguments. The first argument is that, as form of thinking, Philosophy presents three ‚main dimensions‛ *‚language use‛, ‚communication of beliefs (cognition)‛, and ‚interaction in situations‛ - as a ‚standard principle‛ -Van Dijk, 1997)]; these dimensions are the dimensions of any discourse, so Philosophy is a specialized discourse, a philosophical discourse. The second argument is that, as a written language form of communication, Philosophy is a deep communicational cognition. Viewing Philosophy as discourse and as a deep cogitation communication, it follows that: 1. in philosophical communication, as well as in any other type of communicational discourse, the producer is not fundamental, but the nuclear message which he succeeds in transmitting and co-constructing meanings together with his recipient; 2. the discursive approach of philosophemes and „philosophematic‛ message is the distinctive feature of philosophical communication, of philosophical discourse, of the philosophical text as communication practice.
