Abstract

In my wide-ranging 2,942-word review essay "C. G. Jung on Fantasy Thinking versus Directed Thinking, and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I highlight the Swiss psychiatrist and psychological theorist C. G. Jung's differentiation of fantasy thinking involving images and associative thinking from directed thinking involving logic. In addition, I highlight the relevant work of the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and cultural historian and media ecology theorist Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955) of Saint louis University, the Jesuit university in the city of St. Louis, Missouri (USA), where, over the years, I took five courses from him -- and relevant related work.
