Synopsis "The Sensus Communis, Synesthesia, and the Soul: An Odyssey"

McLuhan takes up his father Marshall's mantle by marrying communications and religion in this journey through the sensesIn this essay of extraordinary scope and depth, Eric McLuhan explores faith as a form of knowing. He does so against the backdrop of preliterate man's concrete, bodily submersion in the putting on of poetry and drama (the practice of mimesis) and post-literate man's bodiless submersion in electronic communication, in which sender and receiver are everywhere and nowhere at once. In traversing the Aristotelian and Medieval concept of sensus communis, he examines synesthesia as, in effect, its operating system and charts the modern and contemporary mandate to embrace the discarnate. He washes up on the shore of religion as he uncovers a trinity of knowledge, that is, three kinds of sensus communis--the five physical senses, the four intellectual senses of Scripture (historical, allegorical, tropological, and anagogical), and the three theological senses (faith, hope, and charity)--each of the three complete in itself yet interacting with one another. A fascinating odyssey that will dazzle the senses.
