TWO PROBLEMS IN ROBERT T. CRAIG’S PRAGMATIC COMMUNICATION METATHEORY

Summary/Abstract: Robert T. Craig’s metatheory of communication proposed the pragmatic basis for the systematization typologizing contemporary communication theories and the creation of a more universal communication theory. Tthe article argues that the main problems of Craig’s metatheory are caused by the acceptance of Rrortyan style neopragmatism and thereby by the orientation not towards everyday communication problems, but towards the question of communication among different theoretical discourses. First, it does not state the difference between the first and the second order pragmatic communication theories; second, the pragmatic evaluation criterion is not sufficient to ascertain the adequacy of first-order communication theories.
