Sharing a commitment to the theory of communication to Habermas' Theory of Communicative Action, Grant here issues a range of challenges to it. He critiques theories of dialogism and intersubjectivity, proposes a rethinking of the communicating subject in society and explores the new contingencies of culture and media in today's world.
