This essay examines the articles by Goodall and Phillips (1981) and Phillips (1981) and contends that their genuine concerns about a social science of communication are misdirected. More specifically, this essay argues that science is part of a critical approach to knowledge and that attempts to divorce science from criticism mystify the reader by misidentifying the present issues facing our emerging discipline.
