Review # 1 was written on 2012-03-14 00:00:00 frederic vigneron A collection of essays discussing the effects of the word on consciousness as it moves through oral to written to print and electronic culture. Deeply insightful and expands the reader's understanding of how the act of reading has changed our life-experience. Walter J. Ong writes heavy philosophical stuff using language that is accessible while not condescending. He's one of the few cultural theorists who writes well and who isn't in love with their own cleverness. A careful reading and study of the ideas presented in these essays will yield much enlightenment. |
Review # 2 was written on 2019-02-17 00:00:00 Maximilian Kratt So, hrm, slightly more organized than From the Beast to the Blonde, but still mostly reads like: I did some research on these sources, let's cram them all into a book somehow. The section on fighting fear with humor, for example, was about Circe, giants, and bananas. So, yeah. |
