'Ong's most important work is Ramus, Method, and the Decay of Dialogue: From the Art of Discourse to the Art of Reason (1958), which is a pioneering work not only in the field known today as print culture but also in the field known today as cultural studies. Ong elaborates the contrast between the visual and the oral that he found in Louis Lavelle's La parole et l'ecriture (Paris, 1942). In addition, Ong details how the spatialization and quantification of thought in dialectic and logic during the Middle Ages enabled 'a new state of mind' to emerge in print culture, as he himself puts it in The Barbarian Within (1962: 72) -- a state of mind representing 'a real mathematical transformation of thinking' (ibid.) associated with the emergence of modern science. The companion volume, Ramus and Talon Inventory (1958) is a notable work that is a rudimentary contribution to the field known today as book history, because Ong briefly describes more than 750 volumes (mostly in Latin) that he had tracked down in more than 100 libraries in the British Isles and Continental Europe' (Wikipedia).
