Descartes walks into a bar. The barmaid says, "Would you like a beer?" Decartes replies, "I think not," and poof! he disappears.

The man holds out his torn britches to a Greek tailor.

"Eurippedes?" the tailor asks.

"Yeah, Eumenedes?" the client replies.

I believe the gentleman to whom you refer is properly known as S.W. Littlejohn and the work to which you refer is his Theories of Communication. HERE is a course taught by Lyle Flint of Ball State that attempts to address some of the issues in your article.

I remain a touch skeptical about this essentially postmodern attempt to put window-dressing on undergraduate-level philosophy, and I am both philosophically and politically very much in opposition to Dr. Lyle's interpretation, but I think that you might find it interesting nonetheless. Thanks and have a nice evening, and welcome to FR.

I abide blasé so I'm inveigled to scrawl and scratch approximately something... what? Well, perchance not a ‘what' but a ‘why.' Why queries are commonly the ill. They commence out portentous except undergo besieged in every heading by legions of rejoinders. Everybody covets to notify you why. They stockpile stark sorts of erudition of art that they pickle employ to divulge you why. Why this, why that, why not this, why not that... and so it departs. Why cross-examinations devise these Lilliputian abysses within the passageway of confabulation. They insinuate at manufacturing something, pump up the cogent breach with connotation, routing and subjugating the lunatic to the distant reaches of the biosphere. The why query undergoes a pressure derriere it. It is attentive to surmount the spear of light. Zilch else exceedingly executes it that manner. The why query chaperons you forth into the desert and you encounter the apostate, every incoherent Sufi and augur that wheedles your intelligence with phantasm of art & philosophy. The why is the luminary that perforates the mortal china chest and divulges the pall at the bowel of existence. It singes out the antipodes and deodorizes the grey lesions of epoch. The why query is a crusade (ion). A quest i (am) on, a quest indeed... So, presently you abide blasé as well, I ought solicit my why query.

The Admiral Long John breathes a exalted maestro with multitudinous acolytes. He is eminence for his euphony and abides an boost to his ventilators. His cunning is the air of the hereafter fair albeit the present day fares not digest him. Save we be adequate. He resolve persevere to be lifted as a champion of prodigious delicacy, waggery and with the swell of entity of Orson Welles. A garrison with a commission to smear the illumination that Jehovah relinquished him with endowment, hypnotize and momentous well-behaved countenances and garb. A Don of the preeminent echelon and prominence
