American post-Jungian psychologist, author of Emotion (1960) and Re-Visioning Psychology (1975). McLuhan read and quoted the early Emotion; Cameron, who later sought Hillman out at Dallas much as he had McLuhan, found him a brilliant but difficult man whose work "extricates psychology from human beings" toward the reanimation of the world.
Across the dialogues
Post-Jungian of "the reanimation of the world" — read by McLuhan, and a difficult teacher Cameron sought out like McLuhan himself
McLuhan read and often quoted Hillman's Emotion (1960) but died before Re-Visioning Psychology, whose project is to lift psychology out of the human and toward a reanimated world.
"He read Hillman's early book, Emotion, and quotes that a lot. I guess McLuhan died before Hillman wrote Revisioning Psychology. But Revisioning Psychology is a great, great book."
Cameron sought Hillman out at Dallas as he had McLuhan — and found the same thing: a combative, difficult teacher who imposed his own view.
"I knew Hillman. He was a difficult guy."
