Communication Process, Philosophical Developments, Ontology, Self-awarenessAbstract
Contextualizing Life of Communication is the study conducted to interpret the philosophical developments respective to critical approaches of Communication as a discipline, Communication as an idea, Communication as a process and Communication as a phenomenon, which results in the formulation of seven major traditions of Communication. This Research is an effort to identify the ontological existence and perspective of Communication, acclaiming it as a condition and state of mind in which we live all the Time consciously and unknowingly. The Research is an attempt to identify the importance of thinking, analyzing and understanding Imagination and self-awareness in the context of Communication. The methodological practice followed in this Research is Habermas's Public sphere theory, along with dialectal hermeneutical analysis through constructivism theory. The Research concluded that Imagination keeps Communication alive till it fulfils the purpose of its existence, and self-awareness is that purpose which needs to be attained through the precondition of thoughts (imaginations). For the sake of conclusion, a prospecting model derived from interpretations of various philosophers and Allama Iqbal’s Model of Life is presented in this Research.
