摘要

Jürgen Ruesch and Gregory Bateson were dedicated to the research paradigm that asserts the successful Axiom of Communication Theory: The Intentionality Code of 'You Both Can And Cannot Communicate'(Make up Your Mind and Change Your Mind—You can Learn.). Ruesch and Bateson’s axiomatic view of Codes critiques the failed Intentionality Messages, i.e., the failed Postulate of Information Theory: The Behavior of 'You Cannot Not Communicate' raised to the status of a fetish in the American speech communication discipline by the publication of Paul Watzlawick, Janet Helmick Beavin, and Don J. Jackson, Pragmatics of Human Communication: A Study of Interactional Patterns, Pathologies, and Paradoxes(New York, NY: W. W. Norton & Co., Inc., 1967). Although dedicated 'To Gregory Bateson, Friend and Mentor', this book(hereafter cited as WBJ) is not co-authored by Bateson and its publication was vigorously opposed by him for many reasons, including the argument of the present analysis that shows a fundamental misunderstanding and gross misapplication of Information Theory(Shannon & Weaver) in place of Communication Theory(Weiner & Bateson) and the mathematical logic(Edmund Husserl & Bertrand Russell) upon which the distinction is based.
