Item Operationally Defining and Explaining Deification for Americans Today(This version was not previously published., 2019-12) Farrell, ThomasI previously published my 2,700-word review essay "M. David Litwa's 2014 Book Iesus Deus and Walter J. Ong's Thought" at the University of Minnesota's digital conservancy. In my follow-up 3,600-word review essay "Operationally Defining and Explaining Deification for Americans Today," I discuss Litwa's 2012 and 2016 books about other ancients examples of deification. In addition, I discuss Harold Bloom's interpretation of what he refers to as Ralph Waldo Emerson's "self-deification." But more importantly, I also undertake the task of operationally defining and explaining deification for Americans today by drawing on Robert Moore's account of the archetypes of maturity in the human psyche.
