The paradox between “ontology” and “epistemology” of the self often leads to query and tension toward its “being”. This difficulty in structure seemingly points to the self-identity crisis that confronts the communication field.This study first introduces the identity crisis in the communication field due to the disorder of its knowledge base and simultaneously discusses its difficulty from a structural entanglement between ontology and epistemology. The study then follows up by stating the philosophical assumptions and theoretical methodology of pathological reduction. The study further aims to explore respectively the position of form knowledge as well as content knowledge. Finally, it elaborates upon the nature of communication knowledge for being a form field and sketches the unique perspective that the communication field should possess.
