“Voices across three generations celebrate the work of Richard L. Lanigan, a giant in scholarship, service and humanity. In dialogue with American pragmatism and continental philosophy, Lanigan the philosopher and communicologist investigates the phenomenological foundations of communication inspiring new pathways in research as represented by the authors in this volume. An extraordinary enterprise marking the overwhelming importance of communication today with its singular responsibilities for theorists and practitioners alike, in the face of its pervasiveness and consequence not only for humankind but for life overall.”—Susan Petrilli, Professor of Philosophy and Theory of Languages, University of Bari Aldo Moro, Italy, Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Adelaide, Australia
