Abstract
In my wide-ranging 3,330-word review essay "David Brooks on Trumpism versus Abstractions, and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I discuss NYT columnist David Brooks' column titled "I'm Normally a Mild Guy. Here's What Pushed Me Over the Edge" in The New York Times (dated May 29, 2025). It turns out that a certain pronounced tendency in Trumpism to avoid abstractions pushed David Brooks over the edge. So, I discuss abstractions in the American Jesuit scholar's media ecology account of our Western cultural history.
