Ong's acclaimed speculations on human culture. \u003c\/b\u003eAfter his death, his archives were found to contain unpublished drafts of a final book manuscript that Ong envisioned as a distillation of his life's work. This first publication of \u003ci\u003eLanguage as Hermeneutic\u003c\/i\u003e, reconstructed from Ong's various drafts by Thomas D. Zlatic and Sara van den Berg, is more than a summation of his thinking. It develops new arguments around issues of cognition, interpretation, and language. Digitization, he writes, is inherent in all forms of \"writing,\" from its early beginnings in clay tablets. As digitization increases in print and now electronic culture, there is a corresponding need to counter the fractioning of digitization with the unitive attempts of hermeneutics, particularly hermeneutics that are modeled on oral rather than written paradigms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition to the edited text of \u003ci\u003eLanguage as Hermeneutic\u003c\/i\u003e, this volume includes essays on the reconstruction of Ong's work and its significance within Ong's intellectual project, as well as a previously unpublished article by Ong, \"Time, Digitization, and Dalí's Memory,\" which further explores language's role in preserving and enhancing our humanity in the digital age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Introduction, by Sara van den Berg\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart I: by Walter J.
