Abstract
In my wide-ranging and, at times, deeply personal 4,580-word review essay "Maia Szalavitz on Love as a Drug, and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I first succinctly highlight the work of the American Jesuit scholar Walter Jackson Ong, Jr. (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955) of Saint Louis University and related work. I do this to establish the cultural matrix that i am working with when I turn to discuss Maia Szalavitz's guest op-ed titled "Love Is a Drug. IA.I. Chatbots Are Exploiting That" in The New York Times (dated June 3, 2025).
