What Makes "Communication" Possible?
The article presents sufficient space for a thorough analysis of the conceptual issues of the Communicative Programme (the CP) developed by E. Husserl, L. Wittgenstein, K.-O. Apel, and J. Habermas who attached great importance to the fundamental role of communication in epistemological justification. The CP analysis carried out in the article is based on a number of models worked out to provide insight into the following two arguments of the CP proponents: 1) the CP statements are justified through their universal validity; 2) There is no pure individual in the communicative society (CS). It is demonstrated that the former argument leads to a vicious circle, while the latter one - heads to overt absurdity in terms of logic.
