Ong's Thought," I highlight the lives and works of three distinguished media ecology theorists: (1) Eric McLuhan (1942-2018; Ph.D. in English, University of Dallas, 1982); (2) Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980; Ph.D. in English, Cambridge University, 1943); and (3) Walter J. Ong, S.J. (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955). In addition, I briefly highlight Eric McLuhan's 2015 book The Sensus Communis, Synesthesia, and the Soul: An Odyssey (BPS Books/ Bastian Publishing), accentuating connection consciousness in the Roman Catholic tradition of thought. I round off my review essay by listing certain other books and articles related to connection consciousness.enEric McLuhan, Marshall McLuhan, Walter J. Ong, Thomas J. FarrellScholarly Text or Essay
