There has been comparatively little attention for the fundamental ontology of communication in recent philosophy. Nevertheless, from classical metaphysical accounts of relationality and communal being to the analysis of intersubjectivity in phenomenology and to concrete existence as understood by process philosophy, the communicative structure of the act of being has been, if not explicitly then implicitly, a perennial component of metaphysical reflection. Communication theory can be conceived in such a way that it takes this ontological dimension into account. The ramifications of connecting being to communication in this way are explored in discussion with the conceptualizations of communication in integrationism and biosemiotics. An interpretation of Gabriel Marcel’s existential analysis of “my life” is used to show what philosophy as communication theory (in the strong sense of the notion elaborated here) might look like.

Zwanzig Jahre nach dem Mauerfall wird in dieser Ausgabe des Bloch-Jahrbuches nach den öffentlichen Tagträumen gefragt, die sich von „Montagsdemonstrationen“ bis zum Mauerfall Luft verschafften. Welche Sehnsüchte verbargen sich hinter der Zivilcourage? Was ist heute aus ihnen geworden? Wie wirken sich die Ungleichzeitigkeiten in Lebens- und Arbeitsformen heute in Ost und West aus? Wie gehen Menschen damit um, welche Träume entwickeln sie heute?

Zum buch: Ernst Blochs Denken ist aktuell, es hat uns heute etwas zu sagen. Wenn das in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten nicht bemerkt wurde, dann liegt das wohl auch daran, dass es nicht immer im vollen Kontext der philosophischen Überlieferung gesehen wurde. Vielmehr galt es als etwas eigenwillige Spielart des Marxismus, blieb ganz und gar auf den Utopiebegriff reduziert oder wurde als haltloses Hoffnungs- und Wunschdenken oder gar als bloßer Ausdruck einer schwärmerisch-expressionistischen Gestimmtheit denunziert. Dieses Bild ist zu korrigieren, denn Bloch hat sich mit vollem Recht jederzeit von allen Formen der philosophischen Schwärmerei scharf distanziert. Sein Denken auf die Begriffe „Hoffnung“ und „Utopie“ zu reduzieren, heißt gerade, den Metaphysiker Bloch auszublenden. Ernst Bloch ist einer der großen Denker des Humanen, aber er erinnert uns eindringlich daran, dass das humanistische Denken ohne metaphysische Grundlage bodenlos bleibt. Diese Publikation ergreift die Chance, Blochs Denken und Werk im Licht aktueller Entwicklungen in Philosophie und Wissenschaften einer Neubewertung zu unterziehen.
