The communicational thought nowadays

Abstract

In order to reflect on the communicational thought, one has to struggle against the theoretical syncretism and understand how the main lines of reflection have been built. The hypothesis here is that there is a common thought not only among theoreticians but also among those who practice communication. In this article, the main trends of communicational thought are enumerated: the functionalist theory, the cybernetic theory and the structural theory. Besides, this paper deals with the fundamental questions of the communicational thought nowadays and shows its challenges.
