Item Beatrice Bruteau (1979) on Marshall McLuhan (1964), and Walter J. Ong's Thought(This version was not previously published., 2022-02) Farrell, ThomasIn my 8,700-word commentary "Beatrice Bruteau (1979) on Marshall McLuhan (1964), and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I highlight the life and work of (1) the American mystic philosopher and Catholic convert Beatrice Bruteau (1930-2014; Ph.D. in philosophy, Fordham University, 1954) up to 1979; (2) the Canadian Renaissance specialist and media theorist and Catholic convert Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980; Ph.D. in English, Cambridge University, 1943) up to 1964; and (3) the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and media theorist and orthodox Catholic priest Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955). Specifically, I focus most notably on Dr. Bruteau's perceptive and lucid discussion of Marshall McLuhan's 1964 book Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man (McGraw-Hill) in her 1979 book philosophical book The Psychic Grid: How We Create the World We Know (Quest Books/ Theosophical Publishing House).
