Pressezitat
"This masterfully and engagingly written book provides a panoramic view of the wonder and function of communication theory from ancient to contemporary times. With an insightful perspective, the authors creatively, yet with crystal clarity, connect the theoretical dots to provide insights that help the reader see interconnections between communication theory and practice. This is a must have book for any communication educator, and for all communication scholars and students who seek a new appreciation for the power and importance of communication. The best word that summarizes how this book enhances our understanding of communication theory in relation to such fresh contextual applications as time, the mind, God, language, culture, information, community and space is 'Wonderful!'" -Steven A. Beebe, Ph.D., Regents' and University Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Texas State University, USA
"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
"Be ready to take 'a journey' when reading this book. When explaining such key concepts as communication, language, and the body, you are led on an intellectual journey: spanning from the writings of the ancient Greeks, to the modern Germans and Russians, to the post-modern scholars Habermas and Derrida. Yet fear not losing your way on this journey! The authors write in a down-to-earth style and illustrate their points with poignant and relevant examples. This is a book highly recommended for those who want to break away from the standard fare of one-theory-after-another texts, and instead study communication as a dialogue that moves across time and place. You will be richly rewarded when reading this book."
Todd Sandel, Professor of Communication, University of Macau
"This book is utterly different from what is provided by the mainstream of media studies, innundated as it is with contemporary topics on issues such as digitalization and social media. Igor Klyukanov and Galina Sinekopova take us on a journey offering a bird's eye view of communication theory through ten philosophical windows. We are regaled with intellectual stimulation drawing on the rich tradition from Plato to Foucault. A most welcome reminder of the power of and usefulness of such Renaissance-type overviews in an age that diverts us increasingly to specificities and presentism."
Kaarle Nordenstreng, Professor Emeritus of Journalism and Mass Communication,
the University of Tampere, Finland
"[...A] valuable addition to a communication theorist's collection, [and for] students and scholars interested in linguistics, sociology, theology, semiotics, history, psychology. [...T]he reader may feel inspired to believe that communication, as a specifically human phenomenon, has the potential to encourage people to be better humans and strive to become more humane as well."
