Abstract

In my 2,575-word review essay "David Brooks' 2023 Book How to Know a Person, and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I briefly highlight David Brooks' accessible new 2023 book How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen (Random House). In addition, I briefly highlight the work of the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and cultural historian and pioneering media ecology theorist Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955). I also briefly discuss Pope Francis' urging people, not just practicing Catholics, to engage in encounter and dialogue.
