Title: Marshall McLuhan, man of faith
Producer: Margaret Coffey, Nina
Transcript
Nina Sutton: Would you call yourself a very religious man?
Marshall McLuhan: I don’t know. I am I hope a very real, practising, believing Christian, I try to be.
Margaret Coffey: Marshall McLuhan, the man himself, on ABC Radio National’s Encounter – and here he’s a man of faith, and of religion.
Marshall McLuhan: I have no problems incidentally about being religious – no, I don’t find any conflicts.
Margaret Coffey: I’m Margaret Coffey, welcoming you to the program – part of ABC McLuhan, a weekend on digital radio and online.
The Medium Is the Massage: Electric circuitry has rudely thrust us into a world that is quite unusual and quite unlike any previous world and for which no previous model of perception will serve.
Margaret Coffey: We’re marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of the man who made it popular to think about the effect of the media on our lives, either as individuals and in societies.
The Medium Is the Massage: The new feeling that people have about guilt is not something that can be privately assigned to some individual but is rather something shared by everybody in some mysterious way.
Margaret Coffey: And he was a man of whom it is also said:
Michael W. Higgins: It is difficult actually to identify him as either conservative Catholic or liberal Catholic. If they think of him at all as Catholic which is not largely the case I think and that is most unfortunate I think because it is to miss one of the major components of his thinking and is constitutive of his life, they tended to think of him as conservative: regular practising Catholic of the old way, fairly conventional, came into the church as he says himself in his twenties on his knees…
Marshall McLuhan: I had no religious yearnings or needs of any sort but I was quite aware of the claims of the church and I wanted to know what the claims were about.
