by Elizabeth Corey

“In 1954, Walker Percy published a short philosophical essay called ‘The Loss of the Creature,’ arguing that modern man had given up sovereignty over his own existence. Advertisements, magazine articles, and television all offered up ersatz experiences to a passive and compliant public. That public in turn increasingly found direct, unmediated experience disappointing and anticlimactic. If only he could see us now!” (12/26/24)
