How To Be a Contemporary Thomist: The Case of Marshall McLuhan

Adam Pugen at Reality Journal.

"To this end, McLuhan over the course of decades created his own intellectual synthesis between Thomistic metaphysics and a host of other sources such as: Ciceronian humanism, gestalt psychology, the avant-garde aesthetics of Wyndham Lewis and James Joyce, the cultural anthropology of Giambattista Vico, the poetry criticism of F.R. Leavis, and the 'anonymous' cultural history of Siegfried Giedion."
