This essay argues for the priority of a “praxical hermeneutics” over both an ontological and a methodological one. Focusing on and pushing further Gadamer's notion of practice, it attempts to register a praxical dimension to the hermeneutic tradition within communication studies. By bringing together philosophical hermeneutics and other critical discourses, this essay attempts to offer some new possibilities or directions for the study of communication and mass communication.
