Download: $5.60 THE END OF EVOLUTION points towards a future hypothetical - and morally desirable - culmination of evolution which will be both transcendentalist and antifundamentalist, idealist and antimaterialist, metaphysical and antimetachemical, and therefore provides a structured blueprint for a credible alternative to worldly norms. In that respect, it is beyond any utopian reductionism and/or fudged eschatology.

Download: $4.20 Volume Eight of Electronic Keyboard Instrumentals by John O'Loughlin seems like a breath of fresh air after the glitch-ridden volumes that preceded it and, with this technical problem largely ironed out, he was able to proceed through the fourteen tracks on this volume with more confidence and, indeed, pleasure than before.

EKIV005 - CasiopiaEKIV005 - Casiopia (multimedia download)
Download: $4.20 Volume Five of Electronic Keyboard Instrumentals by John O'Loughlin is more heavily reliant on the 'Casio Chord' aspect of the Casio keyboard with which these instrumentals were composed than had been the case with the previous four volumes and is therefore something of a mechanistically flamboyant departure from straight playing.

Download: $4.20 John O'Loughlin's first volume of electronic keyboard instrumentals, dating from 1999, is not without technical flaws, but is nonetheless exciting, with that exuberance characterizing someone who has just got under way not simply with a new project but with a whole new creative field!

Download: $5.60 Dating from 2001, PATHWAYS TO 'THE KINGDOM' attempts to delineate the approaches to what has been loosely identified with 'Kingdom Come', though the term 'kingdom' would bear scant resemblance to anything autocratic but, rather, derives from common usage and/or expectation in relation to Biblical eschatology.
|
 |
Download: $2.79 This project strives to articulate the paradoxical concept of a what could be called a counter-cupidian thrust, as though from antimetaphysics to metaphysics, which Mr O'Loughlin believes to be pretty much an exception to the general rule that keeps antimetaphysics, or the antimetaphysical, subordinately deferential to metachemistry.

Download: $9.82 THE OMEGA QUARTET, so called because the contents are largely of an omega-oriented order of transcendentalism with ideological overtones, is comprised of four books of poetry written during the early '80s, viz. 'Stressing the Essential', 'Spiritual Intimations', 'The Modern Death', and 'Trees', and provides an alternative approach to the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism that has the virtue of bringing all of John O'Loughlin's poetic works of a philosophical nature together in one volume.

 |
Download: $9.82 DAWN OF THE LIFE is a composite of two previous texts, viz. 'The Transcendental Future' (1980) and 'The Way of Evolution' (1981) and therefore combines dialogues with essays in a largely philosophical text which has the merit of both a lengthy introduction and a summational aphoristic appendix, as per custom for John O'Loughlin's works at this comparatively early stage of his development as a self-taught philosopher, or thinking literary writer. The 'dawn' in this instance is a new one, and the 'life' has more to do with eternity than with anything temporal, much less infinite.

Download: $14.03 CONVERGENCE is a large project in which a number of titled compilations of aphorisms and/or maxims deriving from prior publications and independent volumes have been combined into a quasi-cyclical work the contents of which, dating from 1977-84, signify a comparatively early stage in John O'Loughlin's philosophical development during which the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism was germinating and beginning to grow into the light of metaphysical perfection.

Download: $14.03 CONTEMPLATIVE ABSTRACTS is the logical sequel to 'Abstacts' (1983) which, being readerly, or capable of being read, were non-contemplative and therefore a precondition of abstract poems that require only to be contemplated, since effectively a species of word art. The five books in this project represent different stages in John O'Loughlin's development of a non-readerly, or contemplative, style of poetic composition and have also been published separately under the headings 'Contemplations' (1985), 'Supercontemplations' (1993) and 'Ultracontemplations' (1994), the first of these being in three books and therefore containing the greater percentage of the material now available in one volume, as the collected contemplative abstract poems.
|
 |
Download: $12.63 If John O'Loughlin is 'In Disguise' here it's because, these days, he does not see himself primarily as a poet but, rather, as a philosopher, if a self-taught one, who once wrote poems, many of which were of a philosophical order and thus an alternative or formative approach to his philosophy-proper. The 180 or so poems collected together here are all readerly, or capable of being read, as opposed, like the bulk of Mr O'Loughlin's abstract poetry, to being contemplated, and have accordingly been described as verse (whether 'rhymed' or 'free') to distinguish them from anything abstract, or non-readerly. 'Lyric' might suffice as a more conventional description, but, frankly, that would hardly apply to the majority of the poems here which, as stated, are distinctly philosophical and the product, in consequence, of a disguised philosopher, a philosopher in disguise.
|
 |
Download: $18.24 A TRUTHFUL APPROACH TO KNOWLEDGE is not only volume two of John O'Loughlin's 'Collected Essays' but is effectively the reverse of volume one, 'A Knowledgeable Approach to Truth', insofar as it is less hampered or besotted by physical knowledge and more open to truth as a kind of metaphysical knowledge which is yet distinct from knowledge per se. It is still, of course, a volume of essays and therefore short of the sort of metaphysical perfection that only comes with aphorisms; but, even so, it signifies an advance on its predecessor and should be read with a view to keeping higher possibilities, including the author's aphoristic writings, in mind, since it intimates of them in no uncertain terms!
|
 |
Download: $18.24 A KNOWLEDGEABLE APPROACH TO TRUTH is Volume One of John O'Loughlin's 'Collected Essays' and embraces material from five other titles, some in part, some in total, dating from 1977-81. The title is intended to be slightly tongue-in-cheek about approaching truth from such an egotistically physical standpoint, but that is what the author was doing back in the late '70s.

 |
Download: $14.03 FLOPSIDED CONVERSATIONS is volume two of John O'Loughlin's 'collected dialogues', with material culled from four prior collections dating from 1982-4 and continuing in the vein of its predecessor, 'Lopsided Conversations', if with a more determined ideological emphasis which takes this volume to an entirely new region of the mind.
|
 |
Download: $14.03 LOPSIDED CONVERSATIONS is volume one of a projected two-volume 'collected dialogues' by John O'Loughlin which moves from a relatively dramatic - even play-like - beginning towards a more systematically philosophical approach to the genre which, fittingly, culminates with an aphoristic appendix that both summarizes and crowns this immense literary project.
|
 |
Download: $14.03 TALES SIDE UP is volume two of John O'Loughlin's Collected Short Prose and is comprised of three prior books dating from 1982-4. The title is a pun on tails, since the first volume was entitled 'Two Sides of the Same Coin' and that more or less metaphysical coin persists here with even greater ideological intensity, if on a basis excluding any heads-like commitment to an aphoristic appendix, and therefore concerned with a kind of fictional presentation of the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism.
|
 |
Download: $15.44 TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN derives its seemingly banal but actually very pertinent title from the combination of short prose (the bulk of the text) with an aphoristic appendix which briefly recapitulates, on succinct terms, many of the theories explored in the text, the text itself deriving from the combination of four prior volumes of short prose which make this project volume one of a two-volume 'collected short prose'.
|
 |
Download: $11.22 This composite project by John O'Loughlin combines the dialogues of 'A Question of Belief' (1978) with the essays of 'The Fall of Love' (1979), to make a substantial volume of literary philosophy which attempts to take a balanced view of a variety of weighty subjects, from literature and music to war and spirituality, under the looming shadow of Spenglerian historicism and environmental fatalism.
|
 |
Download: $8.41 TRUTHFUL ILLUSIONS & ILLUSORY TRUTHS is effectively a combination of the more essayistic material from two prior publications, viz. 'Between Truth and Illusion' and 'The Illusory Truth', and therefore signifies a kind of truncated or concise version of those books which has the merit of excluding alternative approaches to philosophy as it concentrates, with single-minded stylistic purpose, upon the essential concerns of John O'Loughlin's early philosophy, viz. the exploration of dualism, around the mid-70s, at the very beginning of his vocational adventure.
|
 |
Download: $16.84 This is a large collection of abstract paintings entitled ABSTRACTIONS which have often served to illustrate and exemplify aspects of John O'Loughlin's mature, or ideological, philosophy, including theories of the Elements. Although the book format is not totally successful - there are slight smudgings on most of the paintings - it goes some way towards presenting a fair selection of Mr O'Loughlin's abstract work in a chronologically progressive and cumulative manner, passing through several phases, or spirals, en route to its unequivocally metaphysical end.
|
 |
Download: $11.22 A two-book project combining the novels 'Changing Worlds' and 'Fixed Limits', both of which were written with the same principal character, Michael Savage, and both of which chronologically date from 1976, at around the time when the author was embarking upon a literary career from the standpoint of disguised autobiography.
|
 |
Download: $8.41 These two 'posthumous' publications to John O'Loughlin's oeuvre-proper were culled, like the material of 'Opus Postscriptum', from certain of his blogsites and contain material of an essayistic and aphoristic nature which has been extensively revised and reformatted to suit the parameters of eBook publication. There is a sense, though only a loose one, in which the first book corresponds to physics and the second book, the so-called 'Theosophical Illuminations', to metaphysics, though that is more in the form than in the substance, since both books are equally radical and thoroughgoing in their approach to metaphysics and kindred subjects.
|
 |
Download: $18.24 OPUS POSTSCRIPTUM differs from John O'Loughlin's oeuvre in general in that it is comprised of revised and reformatted weblogs from the author's site at spweblog.com and is therefore supplementary to the works which came to a head with 'The Yang and Anti-Yin Quartet' (2005). Most of the essay-like supernotes of the two volumes that constitute this e-book were written during 2005-6, and are therefore amongst Mr O'Loughlin's most up-to-date projects.
|
 |
Download: $14.03 This quartet of books of aphoristic philosophy with a Social Theocratic dimension is comprised of 'Yang and Anti-Yin', 'Lamb and Anti-Lion', 'Celestial City and Anti-Vanity Fair' and, last but by no means least, 'Jesus - A Summing Up!', the title of which is a kind of oblique tribute to Arthur Koestler's estimable 'Janus - A Summing Up', which, however, would not have much bearing on the aforementioned works in terms of thematic structure, as germane, by and large, to the noumenal distinction between metaphysics and antimetachemistry, as explained in the texts.

 |
Download: $16.84 This is the author's only literary 'sextet', a six-book philosophy project entitled THE FATHER OMEGA SEXTET, the individual books of which include 'Father Omega's Last Testament', 'Revauations and Transvaluations', 'The Classless Solution', and 'The Dialectics of Synthetic Attraction'. In fact, this and the subsequent two books are principally about dialectics, albeit of a different and more complex order to anything Marxist and merely materialist. All in all, this monumental project stands very close to, if not actually at, the apex of an oeuvre which has chronologically spiralled towards metaphysical perfection through Social Theocracy and the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism.
|
 |
Download: $11.22 The four e-books in this quartet are 'The Free Testament (Of a Bound Genius)', 'Revelationary Afterthoughts', 'Revolutionary Afterthoughts', and 'Judgemental Afterthoughts (Of a Free Genius)', all of which take the author's ideological philosophy closer to completion in what is a kind of ultimate testament to Social Theocratic truth.
|
 |
Download: $11.22 THE RADICAL PROGRESS QUARTET, dating from 2003, is comprised of 'Radical Progress', 'Stairway to Judgement', 'A Perfect Resolution', and 'The Last Judgement', all four volumes of which continue the author's commitment to the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism in pursuit of metaphysical perfection.
|
 |
Download: $11.22 Besides the volume entitled 'Apocalypso - The New Revelation', this project also includes 'At the Crossroads of Axial Divergence', 'Opti-mystic Projections' and 'Unflattering Conclusions', all of which do further justice to the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism and its Social Theocratic antipathy to Social Democracy.
|
 |
Download: $11.22 This quartet of aphoristic philosophy continues the author's quest for Social Transcendentalist perfection through texts as diverse as the aforementioned 'The Virtuous Circles', which opens the volume, 'The Struggle for Ultimate Freedom', 'Apotheosis of the Gnosis' and 'Eschatology or Scatology', the latter of which would suggest a choice between Heaven and, in effect, Hell.
|
 |
Download: $11.22 As suggested by the title, THE ETHNIC UNIVERSALITY QUARTET is comprised of four volumes of numbered aphorisms that loosely cycle in metaphysical spirals towards an ideological summit, the volumes being 'Ethnic Universality', 'No Man-oeuvre', 'The High-way of Truth', and 'The End of Evolution', all of which are germane to the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism, with its eschatological promise.
|
 |
Download: $9.82 Dating from 2002, TOTAL TRUTH is comprised of four evenly developed parts concerned with what has been loosely termed 'notes' on subjects as diverse as society, liberty, mind, and peace, together with their opposites, all of which are treated by the author from a Social Transcendentalist standpoint, and therefore within a comprehensively exacting framework that never loses track of its principal objectives and ideals.
|
 |
Download: $9.82 VALUATIONS OF A SOCIAL TRANSCENDENTALIST is the sequel to 'Alpha and Omega - Diabolic Beginning and Divine End' and, like that worthy ebook, it has been divided into several parts, viz. 'Revaluations', 'Valuations', and 'Transvaluations', which further advance the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism in relation to the respective parts and their numerical spiralling through several cycles, as before. As regards the various modes of 'valuating', the only omission on my part is in regard to devaluating, which I preferred not to categorically embrace.
|
 |
Download: $9.82 ALPHA AND OMEGA - Diabolic Beginning and Divine End is divided into four parts, each of which investigates a variety of subjects having either alpha or omega connotations from a Social Transcendentalist standpoint, with a view to advancing this ideological philosophy through several spiralling cycles towards enhanced metaphysical perfection.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 THE OMEGA POINT OF CULTURAL TRUTH begins with an outline of the author's habitual fourfold, Element-conditioned approach to thinking and proceeds to ask, in subsequent cycles, a variety of questions concerning the Cosmos, Nature, Man, and the Cyborg, before concluding with an overview of life from a Social Transcendentalist standpoint which includes a number of answers and possible solutions to problems already raised. Needless to say, this is another milestone on the road leading the author towards metaphysical perfection.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 POINT OMEGA POINT - The Omega Standpoint continues the quest for cyclical or metaphysical perfection from where 'Freedom and Determinism' leaves off and does so with even greater depth and confidence in its handling of the largely gender-conditioned distinction between Nature and Civilization on both sensual and sensible terms, thereby bringing the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism to a kind of omega point in its own right.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 Subtitled 'The Gender Agenda', FREEDOM AND DETERMINISM builds upon the nature/psyche dichotomy that was substantively developed in 'The Myth of Equality', its philosophical precursor, to flesh out, in more detail, the terms and means by which either nature triumphs over psyche or psyche triumphs over nature, returning, in what is at times an almost essayistic vein, to the author's earlier concern with what is termed 'the triadic Beyond' in his endeavour to concretize the terms by means of which Social Transcendentalism's concern with the Centre may literally come to pass.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 THE MYTH OF EQUALITY opens up the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism in relation to the connection between culture and race as they, in turn, are conditioned by environment, and further extends the basic gender-conditioned distinction between nature and nurture (or artifice) to include the effects of nature upon psyche and of psyche, conversely, upon nature. All in all, this book debunks simple equalitarian reductionism, whether of the humanistic or non-humanistic varieties.
|
 |
Download: $8.41 PRIVATE OBSERVATIONS is not quite as private as it first appeared to be, since it is a fully-fledged example of John O'Loughlin's cyclic philosophy at its best, and therefore extends the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism into new realms of speculative and ontological endeavor that continue to do maximum justice to metaphysics, whatever personal observations to the contrary may suggest.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 OPUS D'OEUVRE is one work, as suggested by the title, out of a large oeuvre of works of a literary nature that, collectively, add up to 'Opera D'Oeuvre', and, true to its metaphysical bias, it continues John O'Loughlin's quest for philosophical perfection through some fourteen cycles (including an appendix) which re-examine a number of contrasting dichotomies from the standpoint of Social Transcendentalism and with a view to advancing the cause of this ideological philosophy at the expense of worldly norms.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 With some twenty-eight cycles of numbered aphorisms, MAGNUS DEI is something of a magnus opus, even if still at quite some rung-like distance from the top rung of John O'Loughlin's ladder-like literary oeuvre. Nevertheless, with a number of elementally-conditioned quadruplicities and gender-conditioned dichotomies that open up new vistas of insight and logical certitude, this work brings the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism a significant stage closer to its definitive realization, as we analyze the various quadruplicities in relation to the fundamental gender dichotomy which divides objectivity from subjectivity and soma from psyche.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 As suggested by the title, THE RIGHT TO SANITY makes a claim for sanity in a world, and society, too often given to insanity because of certain factors which conduce towards it, and offers a solution to the contemporary problem from a standpoint based in transcendentalism.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 THE PROMISE OF 'KINGDOM COME' extends the cyclical style (metaphysical) of John O'Loughlin's philosophizing beyond where it left off with 'The Totality of Nature', investigating the dichotomy between sensuality and sensibility from a gender-specific standpoint in relation to the usual distinctions between will and spirit on the one hand and ego and soul on the other, and outlining the terms of salvation and damnation for both males and females.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 THE TOTALITY OF NATURE is comprised of some twenty cycles of aphoristic philosophy with titles ranging from the arguably banal 'Cause and Effect' to the rather more cryptic 'Paradigmatic Triplicities', as well as a number of the by-now familiar dichotomous titles like 'Blessed and Cursed vis-a-vis Saved and Damned', all of which, as before, supplement or complement the Elemental theories which are at the roots of John O'Loughlin's philosophy and which stretch logic, and therefore a conception of nature, into a fourfold structure which becomes the basis of subsequent enrichment and/or embellishment.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 BRINGING THE JUDGEMENT is one of those 'abstract' volumes of cyclic philosophy which are all about cycles and numbers rather than title headings, and in this case we have some twenty-five cycles plus an appendix which deal with a variety of Social Transcendentalist concerns and postulates, including an examination of the dichotomy, relative to gender, between objectivity and subjectivity and of how these operate within the basic elemental structures already outlined in previous books by the author.
|
 |
Download: $4.20 BEYOND IMAGINATION is divided into twenty-eight cycles of numbered aphorisms, with titles ranging from 'Responsibility' and 'The Truth about God' to 'The Four kinds of Literature' and 'Musical Quadruplicities', each of which has something new to add to the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism as it climbs beyond appearances towards a metaphysical peak of ontological essence.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 THE TRIUMPH OF BEING is a critique of morality not only in relation to being but also, and no less significantly, to doing, giving, and taking, and proceeds to analyze these different approaches to morality within the elemental framework of the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism, drawing appropriate conclusions as to their respective natures and overall moral standings.
|
 |
Download: $9.82 This is John O'Loughlin's first and, to-date, only attempt at writing a dictionary, in which the terms follow alphabetically in chronological spelling order, and, needless to say, it's in conjunction with the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism that such a project was initially launched, with, it would appear, an acceptable degree of structural and thematic credibility to warrant such a portentous title.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 With fifteen headed cycles of aphoristic philosophy, THE KINGDOM OF THE SOUL is a further advance in John O'Loughlin's metaphysics, as a variety of dualities or antitheses are examined in relation to the overall elemental structures of the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism, examples of which include state and church, conservatism and libertarianism, work and play, &c. There is also an insightful critique of Being, both in relation to ontology and to actually being philosophical. All in all, THE KINGDOM OF THE SOUL is a work one would be glad to have read if one is a dedicated follower of Truth.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 THE CORE OF THE SELF logically follows 'The Soul of Being' as a major text in which the various aphoristic cycles spiral towards a new summit identified, in this case, with the core of the self conceived in intensely metaphysical terms. The writing of this author of course goes on, as does his doggedly logical pursuit of Truth, way beyond this particular title, but here it achieves a degree of definitiveness, in connection with its main subjects, which it would be difficult if not impossible to refute.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 Divided into twelve headed sections, THE SOUL OF BEING examines a number of dichotomous antitheses, such as freedom and binding, the conscious and the unconscious, form and content, sensuality and sensibility, primacy and supremacy, and draws conclusions appropriate to its Social Transcendentalist bias, with, as ever, a comprehensively consistent approach based on elemental quadruplicities.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 ULTRANOTES FROM BEYOND ... THE UNITED KINGDOM/REPUBLIC OF IRELAND contains some 600 aphorisms largely dedicated to the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism and the means whereby it could be politically developed and even implemented. For nothing is more certain than that this ideology regards itself as existing beyond the bounds of both Britain and Ireland in terms of its endorsement of a new kind of sovereignty incompatible with worldly criteria.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 DEISTIC DELIVERANCE (VIA THE IDEOLOGICAL PHILOSOPHY OF SOCIAL TRANSCENDENTALISM, to give it its full title), is yet another of John O'Loughlin's volumes of cyclically aphoristic philosophy (theosophy) in which, with the aid of spiralling cycles, he has striven to grant a certain political definition to the philosophy in question, making it more than just a theory of life but a vehicle whereby life may be changed for the better and people become liberated from their mortal chains and, no less, those who would avail of them for ungodly purposes.
|
 |
Download: $4.20 A MAGNANIMOUS OFFER & OTHER PIECES is John O'Loughlin's first collection of short prose, most of which are less strictly short stories than effectively one-act plays, but it is certainly literary!
|
 |
Download: $8.41 THE IDEOLOGICAL PHILOSOPHY OF SOCIAL TRANSCENDENTALISM, to give it its full title, is the next e-book after 'Revolutions & Revelations', and, like its precursor, it is an aphoristically cyclical text that spirals towards a summit of philosophical truth. Most of John O'Loughlin's characteristic quadruplicities are reviewed here, but they invariably lead to new vistas of logical insight in frameworks that owe something, though not everything, to the basic Elements.
|
 |
Download: $11.22 REVOLUTIONS & REVELATIONS (of an ideological philosopher) combines two volumes of cyclical aphorisms in one book and develops the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism to a new and more advanced level, which builds on what was already established in books like 'Omeganotes of an Ideological Philosopher'. Things can become very complicated, but they tend to remain logically consistent on both noumenal (space/time) and phenomenal (volume/mass) planes.
|
 |
Download: $8.41 OMEGANOTES OF AN IDEOLOGICAL PHILOSOPHER takes the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism to a new level of politico-religious insight and resolve, since it is not only a theory of life but a blueprint by means of which such a theory may be practically realized and socially brought to pass.
|
 |
Download: $9.82 OMEGA MAXIMS & MAXIMUM OMEGA is a big project of reverse-title volumes even by John O'Loughlin's productive standards, and brings his philosophizing in this genre to a climax, not least in respect of a deeper approach to subatomic metaphysics and rising and falling diagonals, with due attention to particle and wavicle differentials.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 Mr O'Loughlin's so-called BOOK OF BELIEFS is a record of where his head was at in 1996 or thereabouts, and is therefore anything but a definitive account of his intellectual progress towards a kind of consummate metaphysical truth. Nevertheless it is still pretty evolved, and one of its best aspects, in our retrospective view, is the way in which it takes space, time, mass, and volume (the latter two factors already more than most philosophers know anything about)and establishes a continuum between space and time on the one hand, and volume and mass on the other in such fashion that things either axially rise or fall between opposite types of space, time, volume, and mass. Check it out for yourself!
|
 |
Download: $11.22 Cryptically subtitled 'Supernotes from Beyond', ETERNAL LIFE is by any standards a substantial compilation of aphoristic essays and essayistic aphorisms which cycle, or pass through several turns of the spiral of metaphysical ascension on their otherworldly way, towards philosophical perfection (theosophy), always with a view to advancing and enhancing the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism. With a full quadruplicity of Elemental postulates, few contexts evade a thoroughgoing critique of their respective components, whether in relation to space, time, volume, or mass, but continue to portend the possibiity of definitive presentation.

Download: $8.41 As suggested by the pun-like title, LAST (W)RITES is both a bringing to a conclusion of certain previous theories by John O'Loughlin which here attain to a well-nigh definitive presentation, and a ceremonial conclusion to certain lifestyles which this book is intended to assist kill off in the interests of what it calls a Superchristian dispensation commensurate with Social Transcendentalism and, hence, with an antithesis to all that, in contemporary terms, is effectively Superheathen.
|
 |
Download: $8.41 OCCASIONAL MAXIMS & MAXIMUM OCCASIONS resembles other reverse-title books like 'Informal Maxims & Maximum Informality' in its basic two-fold design but differs from them in respect of the kind of thematic shift, resembling a mini-revolution, that takes place in the second book of this metaphysically deep and ideologically radical project, continuing, as ever, the quest for philosophical perfection through Social Transcendentalism.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 Like 'Contemplations' and 'Supercontemplations', this volume of poetic word art, which bears the title ULTRACONTEMPLATIONS, requires only to be contemplated, since it is composed of patterned entities which, when they are not in mirror reverse perspective, are all different and all equally suggestive of a variety of insights which arguably owe more to art than to poetry.
|
 |
Download: $8.41 FROM PUNISHMENT TO GRACE is in many respects the sequel to 'From Satan to Saturn', since it follows a similarly cyclical approach to text with numbered aphorisms which spiral, through several cycles, towards a philosophical summit which is both an end and the portent of a fresh beginning. Suffice it to say that the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism is given a further boost with this project, whose subject-matter is wide-ranging but always related, in one way or another, to the ideology in question.
|
 |
Download: $8.41 FROM SATAN TO SATURN has the distinction of being the first of John O'Loughlin's cyclical works of aphoristic philosophy (theosophy), that is, a volume in which numbered aphorisms are recycled over and over as the text advances through several spirals in an ascending momentum that takes it to new heights of truthful or metaphysical insight and certitude, heights that will be overhauled in due textural course as the struggle for philosophical verity (or theosophical perfection) continues with a vengeance.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 SUPERCONTEMPLATIONS signifies a creative advance on the earlier volume of abstract poetry entitled 'Contemplations', in that it combines upper- and lower-case monosyllabic words in the process of creating patterned entities which, whatever their subliminal message, require only to be contemplated and are thus akin to a mode of 'word art', the only difference being that these 'poems' were created with a word-processing program rather than with a paint program involving characters.
|
 |
Download: $9.82 INFORMAL MAXIMS & MAXIMUM INFORMALITY is another of those 'mirror-image' composite projects by John O'Loughlin with its titles in reverse that takes his wholly aphoristic approach to philosophy a stage or two further along the path of Truth than did its predecessor in the genre,'Maximum Truth & Truthful Maxims', adding to Social Transcendentalism the concept of Social Theocracy and thus broadening out the messianic ideology of transcendentalism to include what was destined, in subsequent books, to become the ideological counterpart of Social Democracy.
|
 |
Download: $8.41 This project is comprised of two substantial volumes of maxims entitled 'Maximum Truth' and 'Truthful Maxims', both of which extend the philosophy of Social Transcendentalism into new realms of metaphysical insight, including a more comprehensive subatomic theory that owes much to the structural quadruplicities of previous works, including 'Elemental Spectra', by the author. But it is in its departure from anything to do with the 'Clear Light of the Void' that this project stands out as a beacon of evolutionary enlightenment in relation to the 'Holy Spirit of Heaven'.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 As suggested by its title, LAST JUDGEMENTS is the last of the supernotational volumes of aphoristic essays and essayistic aphorisms stemming from 'Devil and God - the Omega Book', and is a kind of summing up of and in some sense elaboration upon various of the themes previously explored. However, it would be wrong to underestimate the original aspects of this project which, though comparatively short, paved the way for a kind of aphoristic purism commensurate with metaphysical truth.
|
 |
Download: $9.82 Subtitled 'Philosophical Verity', this long and difficult text should reward patient reading, since it is of a deeply metaphysical character that takes the quadruplicities of texts like 'Philosophical Truth', its immediate precursor, to a whole new level of elemental meaning, and largely through the utilization of V-like structures - hence the title 'Veritas Philosophicus' - which both complement and supplement the T-like structures already established in this and previous books, thereby taking the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism a stage further on its evolutionary journey.
|
 |
Download: $8.41 As implied by the 'T' of the title, this book utilizes a number of T-shaped diagrammatic structures to illustrate a framework which derives from the basic Elements and continues to necessitate recourse to an approach to philosophy which is anything but trinitarian or tripartite in character but wholly committed, on the contrary, to understanding life in terms of quadruplicities. This 'Philosophical Truth' is certainly more truthful than most philosophical systems have ever been and a whole lot more ideologically committed, to boot.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 In this project, largely composed of aphoristic essays and essayistic aphorisms (supernotes), the quadruplicities, or fourfold structures, of earlier books, including 'Elemental Spectra', are further developed and even expanded to include T-like diagrams whose intention is to facilitate a sense of the respective positions, vis-a-vis the Elements, of each component in the overall hierarchy of any given quadruplicity. In that respect, this book also anticipates the next in what is an ongoing process spiralling towards a more comprehensively exacting summit the end-product of all such formative essays.
|
 |
Download: $9.82 Without a doubt, ELEMENTAL SPECTRA signifies a significant milestone in the evolution of the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism, since it introduces a stylistic and thematic consistency comparatively new to John O'Loughlin's work at this time and brings a new structural comprehensiveness to bear on it which does justice to each of the spectra of the Elements, as outlined and developed in this exceptional text, with its fourfold approach to philosophy which could not but bring the author into conflict with Arthur Koestler's tripartite theories and thus necessitate a critique and, ultimately, refutation of his sophisticated but logically flawed philosophy.
|
 |
Download: $9.82 TOWARDS THE SUPERNOUMENON is a substantial compilation of spiralling 'supernotes', or aphoristic essays and essayistic aphorisms, that takes an artificially antithetical position to Schopenhauer, the great German philosopher, by positing a progression, on the plane of artificial modernity, from phenomenon to noumenon, as though in contrast to anything naturalistic and effectively traditional. But it does this in relation to a variety of elemental planes, and thus on as comprehensive a basis as was possible to the author at the time.
|
 |
Download: $8.41 In this book of aphoristic philosophy, diagrams are sometimes used to delineate and elucidate complex philosophical propositions which would otherwise lack linear perspective or schematic definition, but the text remains by and large self-explanatory as it grapples with a variety of quadruplicities having some connection with a presumption of antitheses between materialism and idealism on the one hand and naturalism and realism on the other. Hence the title 'From Materialism to Idealism'.
|
 |
Download: $11.22 This substantial collection of aphoristic philosophy - often composed, in paradoxical vein, of what appear to be aphoristic essays and essayistic aphorisms - embraces the dichotomy of the Devil and God in such fashion that one is left in no doubt that the former is alpha and the latter omega and, hence, the repudiation of all that the other stands for. But this is a torturously complex and protracted path, which is why 'The Omega Book' is anything but an easy read, despite the efforts of its author to make it as logically and stylistically consistent as possible, and to offer real hope that victory for God over the Devil is still possible.
|
 |
Download: $8.41 There are some 360 'abstract poems' in this unusual project, which might better be described as 'word art', and they are of a character that defies intellectual intelligibility and invites a certain contemplative frame-of-mind more conducive to spirituality and, hence, to self-transcendence, meaning, in this instance, the transcendence of that fulcrum of intellect, the ego. In that sense, these 'poems' are profoundly anti-literary and correspondingly closer to the spirit of art.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 EVALUATIONS AND REVALUATIONS, which is divided into two parts, each of which reflects one aspect of the overall title, is a compilation of aphoristic writings with strongly metaphysical and subatomic overtones such that take the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism to a new level of analytical sophistication and synthetic penetration.
|
 |
Download: $9.82 This project brings the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism more or less ssystematically into the open for the first time and does so from a variety of genre perspectives - essays, dialogues, aphorisms and maxims - with a view to examining and propounding the ideology in question from as many different philosophical angles as possible. As suggested by the title, the end is transcendentalist, but the means are socialistic (which is not the same as socialism).
|
 |
Download: $9.82 THE WILL TO TRUTH combines dialogues with essays and aphorisms with maxims in a substantial multigenre project of original philosophy with strongly transcendentalist overtones, such that embrace a concept of the Millennium which is both a necessary corrective to Marxist delusions and an ideologically meaningful alternative to thousand-year dating.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 POST-ATOMIC PERSPECTIVES combines essays, dialogues, aphorisms and maxims in a multigenre format of original philosophy with a transcendentalist bias, and does so on a basis which affirms a certain post-atomic and post-human perspective on evolutionary progress which veers towards the messianic without being in the least bit religiously conventional.
|
 |
Download: $9.82 FUTURE TRANSFORMATIONS combines essays with dialogues, both of which are transcended by aphorisms in the lengthy appendix of what, on balance, remains one of John O'Loughlin's most revolutionary projects, in that it addresses future transformations of humanity in relation to the post-human and, hence, on a basis transcending Western humanistic conventions which can therefore be regarded as effectively global or universal in ideological scope. In that respect, this project signifies a transcendentalist rejection of humanism, even in relation to comparatively radical humanistic authors like Aldous Huxley.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 THE WAY OF EVOLUTION combines nine substantial essays with an aphoristic appendix as it strives to delineate evolutionary trends and to uphold the desirability of transcendental artificiality in the face of naturalistic traditions. Subjects range from gender and class to literature and music, as well as an interesting variant on the 'philosophy of history' as propounded by the estimable likes of Oswald Spengler, Simone Weil, and Malcolm Muggeridge.
|
 |
Download: $9.82 This project derives its quite long title from the combination of two collections of dialogues, viz. 'The Transcendental Future' and 'The Importance of Technology', both of which were originally published in separate volumes. Amalgamated into one volume here, however, they achieve a depth and consistency of purpose which not only lends more weight to the essayistic introduction, but grants additional substance to the aphoristic appendix which draws the project to what could arguably be regarded as a transcendental conclusion.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 These six philosophical essays, which vary in length and treatment of style, were written in the late 1970s and reflect a concern with the influence of environment upon culture, not least in respect of literature, music, religion, and knowledge generally. Although the author is not anti-urban per se, he finds that certain types of urban civilization can be detrimental to spirituality, including the life of the soul, and THAT, believe it or not, was the basis of 'The Fall of Love'.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 Mr O'Loughlin's first volume of dialogues is composed of four lengthy philosophical works which debate subjects as varied as books and book collecting, war and peace, astrology, and the necessity - if one is to be fair to the past - of keeping things in historical perspective. Unlike plays, these dialogues are intended primarily to instruct and even to enlighten rather than simply to entertain, and tend to be conversationally one-sided, as befitting their didactic intent.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 As the sequel to 'Between Truth and Illusion', this volume of aphoristic essays and essayistic aphorisms and/or maxims carries on the dualistic theories from where BTAI left off, but does so with greater intellectual freedom and stylistic abandon, creating a substantial essayistic platform from which the aphorisms and maxims were subsequently launched, to dualistic and sometimes more than dualistic effect.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 Mr O'Loughlin's first exercise in philosophy, dating from the early '70s, takes as its starting-point an analysis of the inter-relativity of dualities and expands, via a series of aphoristic essays and dramatic lessons, towards a dialogue climax in which the two - inevitably! - characters discuss the implications of a dualistic philosophy both as it impacts on theory and practice. Although the author didn't realize it at the time, truth and illusion are a lot closer together than may at first appear to be the case, even if one doesn't necessarily have to get between them!
|
 |
Download: $4.20 Mr O'Loughlin's only volume of prose poems, 'Evolution' carries on, in slightly more expansive vein, the social transcendentalist theories first introduced into his poetry with 'Spiritual Intimations' and attempts to bring an almost philosophic degree of metaphysics, including subatomic theories, to bear on what is essentially the brainchild of poetic inspiration. In that respect, the author has achieved a workable marriage between poetry and philosophy that smacks of progressive rock and/or what could be called regressive electronica.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 Mr O'Loughlin's one and only volume of abstract poems can be read (in the main) like an ordinary or mainstream volume of free verse, except that the verse is somewhat freer - and possibly lighter - than would normally qualify for poetry of that ilk. Nevertheless we believe it stops short of being 'word art', even if some people might regard it as degenerate verse and therefore subversive of poetry as normally understand by that term.
|
 |
TREESTREES (e-book)
Download: $7.01 Despite the seeming simplicity of its title, TREES is anything but simple, since arguably the deepest and most politically radical of all John O'Loughlin's volumes of poetry, extending beyond as well as summing up earlier themes with an ideological conviction that points towards a whole new approach to culture.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 THE MODERN DEATH offers both a critique of the materialistic superficiality of modern life and a spiritually-oriented ideological solution to it in the form of Social Transcendentalism, which was first introduced into the author's poetry with the volume 'Spiritual Intimations', but here achieves a metaphysical depth of insight that was one of the factors in his subsequently abandoning poetry for philosophy. Be that as it may, this volume has a right to be regarded as metaphysical poetry, even though John O'Loughlin's concept of metaphysics was to undergo a radical overhaul in the years since the composition of these poems.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 The poetic sequel to 'Stressing the Essential', this volume of some thirty-four poems in free verse is even more ideologically homogeneous, as it strives to delineate and advance, within poetic form, the concept of Social Transcendentalism as bearing on a variety of contexts, not least political, religious, cultural, and social. Certainly 'Spiritual Intimations' is poetically more assured than its precursor, as well as deeper and thematically more expansive.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 Mr O'Loughlin's second collection of poetry, written nearly ten years after 'Dosshouse Blues', is less formal overall and more orientated towards free verse, whilst being more consistently transcendentalist in relation to his by-then-fledgling theories of the post-human. For all their stylistic similarity, however, these poems still vary enormously in length and subject-matter, the longest and arguably the best, viz. 'Dispelling a Futuristic Myth', being left till last.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 A mixed bag of lyrical, rhymed, free verse, prose, and aphoristic poems which were amongst the first things John O'Loughlin ever wrote, back in the early '70s, this volume of poetry seems to intimate of both his fictional and, more interestingly, philosophical destiny to come, while still remaining refreshingly poetic, if with a jaded sense of humor. We especially recommend the title piece as an example of what is meant.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 In this compilation of over thirty biographical sketches, including Hitler, Stalin, de Gaulle, Ben Gurian, de Valera, Franco, Dali, Aldous Huxley, James Joyce, Norman Mailer,Ezra Pound, Carl Jung, and W.B Yeats, Mr O'Loughlin has attempted to view his subjects through the ideological prism of Social Transcendentalism in order to see how they are reflected. The results, at times, are quite surprising, if, understandably, also in some instances only too predictable!
|
 |
Download: $7.01 This project came about as a result of disillusionment with the ephemeral or redundant nature of much autobiographical writing, which can be alarmingly quick to date, and consequently instead of one timescale for composition there are four different timescales, viz. 1983,'85, '93, and '96, corresponding to the divisions of the book into four headed parts, each of which was written quite independently of the others both in timescale and even, to a limited degree, in style. Thus the result is certainly 'beyond the pale' of both retrospectively inclusive and introspectively exclusive autobiographical writings and remains, to this day, open-ended.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 This project is quite unusual in that it combines, in separate parts, autobiographical writings with biographical sketches of some of the writers who have influenced John O'Loughlin the most, including Sartre, Camus, Huxley, Koestler, Henry Miller, Hermann Hesse, and Lawrence Durrell. At the end, Mr O'Loughlin has appended a list of books borrowed from his local library during a twelve-year period coinciding, in part, with the composition of this text, so that one can compare his reading material - and what he thought of it - with the original material of this project as a guide to how becoming eventually turned into being.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 This volume of short prose concludes John O'Loughlin's quest for literary perfection in the genre as it brings his fiction to an ideological pinnacle in Social Transcendentalism, which is explored from a variety of angles and through a number of different characters, though always with a view to justifying and defining it in relation to a kind of ultimate religion. In that respect, this project is the most ideologically advanced and consistent of the author's six volumes of short prose.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 Like its predecessor, 'Millennial Projections', this volume of short prose also contains sixteen pieces, and again it is an intensely philosophical and ideological project that is, however, more self-consciously avantgarde and determined to allow subjectivity, whether in first-person narrative or thought processes, its share of the limelight. This is especially so of the title piece, but it is also characteristic, on a completely different structural basis, of the last piece, 'Twelve Thinkers', who have more in common than might at first seem to be the case!
|
 |
Download: $8.41 A substantial collection of short prose which begins with a three-chapter piece of futuristic science fiction in which we explore otherworldly possibilities from within a post-human millennium and concludes, logically enough, with another three-chapter piece called 'Two-Way Switch', which is quite paradoxical in its treatment of a variety of interesting characters. In between, there are some fourteen pieces of different length and character,some of which are first-person narratives and others, like 'Concerning a Tree', conversational pieces with intellectual or ideological overtones. The 'tree' in question, incidentally, happens to be a Christmas tree, the true or perhaps potential meaning of which is duly examined.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 A substantial collection of short prose with a markedly philosophical bias that follows on from 'A Visit to Hell' and signifies a rejection of the kind of Spenglerian pessimism - as Schopenhauer to Nietzsche - that figured prominently in the latter volume. Here things open out towards a future in which God is the evolutionary outcome. Hence the title 'From the Devil to God', with implications that contrast the alpha-most of things with the omega-most.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 A collection of short prose coupled to an aphoristic appendix which has some bearing on most of the contents, this project, originally dating from 1981 but since revised, combines fictional and philosophical themes at a pretty high level in such fashion that they seem to be partners in literary crime, not least in 'A Canine Crime', which futuristically investigates an old woman's dilemma vis-a-vis dog proscription laws which she has secretly defied.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 Eight substantial short stories from the author of 'Cross-Purposes' and 'An Interview Reviewed' which investigate dualism and transcendentalism from a variety of standpoints. The title piece is much the longest - for short prose - and probably the most outstanding piece in the collection, which has to be read to be believed! Not for the faint-hearted.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 A first-person autobiographical account of one man's disillusionment with sex and transmutation of his sexuality, via sublimated erotica, into an approach to sex which is purely theoretical in its analysis of the probable connections between sex and politics in terms of a given political orientation having a corresponding or correlative sexual orientation which may or may not be the motive for such a politics in the first place.
|
 |
Download: $4.20 A lonely writer of radically philosophical tendency is visited by an old acquaintance one evening and becomes, to his considerable surprise, amorously involved with her and, subsequently, willing to take on responsibility, outside of marriage, for her teenage daughter, whom he tutors, once she has come of age, in the ways of post-atomic integrities.
|
 |
Download: $8.41 Recovering in Norfolk from years of depression in London, an ex-writer-turned-painter by name of Jason Crilly becomes professionally involved with the depiction of a revolutionary sexual machine invented by one of his neighbours, a certain Edmond Shead, and later discovers that his wife, whom he had thought faithful, has been having an affair with the local doctor whilst he was away in London ostensibly on business but actually conducting an affair of his own! Subsequently they agree to a divorce on grounds of incompatibility, but not before his own personal contribution to the sexual machine leads to her becoming pregnant at the expense of Dr Richardson, her unsuspecting new husband. Truly a comic novel of gargantuan proportions!

Download: $7.01 When a drop-out and rejected writer happens by chance upon an 'old flame' in the basement of a London restaurant one day a week or so before Christmas he precipitates a series of events that neither of them could have foreseen, leaving two women dead and one seriously ill, the latter of whom was with his 'old flame' on the day in question.

Download: $9.82 A young writer of radically religious tendency is invited to spend the first weekend of the New Year at a country house in the company of other creative or talented individuals who have been earmarked, unbeknown to themselves, for participation in a unique experiment in connection with a certain revolutionary museum,whose contents are even more sublimated than the relationships that artificially develop between guests and patrons both before and after their enlightenment.

Download: $8.41 Logan is a radical - I mean radical - writer whose influence on an art critic who happens to be an acquaintance of his is more than one might expect for two such different people and certainly not to the tastes of Thurber's publishers. But it has a peculiar and ultimately salutary effect on his personal relations with a certain Greta Ryan, who also figures prominently in this most comic of John O'Loughlin's novels.

 |
Download: $9.82 A young artist who has belatedly renewed relations with an old female acquaintance gradually finds himself becoming disillusioned with her and drawn towards one of her friends instead, though not without first having to deal with the mother of his original girlfriend whose amorous advances toward him are in consequence of marital incompatibilities which this novel takes a sympathetic interest in, despite the outcome.

In fact, they go from bad to worse in ways which put not only the assignment but the reputation of the magazine in serious jeopardy.

 |
Download: $8.41 A philosophic-cum-romantic novel in which a young writer becomes involved with the wife of an influential publisher and ends-up paying the price, as does a certain philosophy friend of his whose double-dealing in connection with a mutual girlfriend proves more difficult to manage than he had at first suspected!
|
 |
Download: $8.41 A journalistic novel documenting several weeks in the life of a budding writer (Michael Savage) as he confronts the challenges of working alone and grappling with the problem of 'limits', both private and public, which forms the leitmotiv of the work, which is John O'Loughlin's first concerted attempt at the 'philosophical novel'.

|
 |
Download: $11.22 The three volumes of aphoristic philosophy combined here share a common concern with the dialectical process as it impacts upon not only history but what the author regards as pre- and post-historical periods of time in which the social or civilized consequences of the dialectical process unfold against a backdrop or underlining current of gender antagonism, the root cause, in his opinion, of the process in question, which is correspondingly more complex than any materialist reductionism of the Marxist variety would allow.
|
 |
Download: $7.01 John O'Loughlin's latest volume of aphoristic philosophy brings his element-based comprehensive exactitude to bear on morality, not just on one kind but on all the different kinds of morality, and shows that morality only exists because it is hegemonic over a correlative unmorality corresponding, in whatever class/element position, to the subordinate gender, but that such a hegemony dare not risk an immoral backlash from below on account of its own amoral failings - something which the author goes into in some detail with the help of analogous contexts and examples, whether sartorial, social, literary, or whatever. But John O'Loughlin, whilst he may be comprhensively exacting in his outlining of the different kinds of morality, is not impartial. On the contrary, he makes a case for one type of morality (and its corresponding unmorality) only - a case that, in his view, would result, if politically and religiously implemented, in the best of all possible worlds.

Download: $5.60 Volume Thirty-two of Electronic Keyboard Instrumentals (EKIV032) by John O'Loughlin introduces a markedly funky dimension to some tracks which complement the overall bias towards rock or electronica of the volume in general.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 Volume Thirty-one of Electronic Keyboard Instrumentals by John O'Loughlin is indeed a mixed bag of mostly rock and electronic elements fused with the occasional blues or jazz strain to create a relaxed and, on the whole, fairly laid-back album.

 |
Download: $2.79 BEYOND TRUTH AND ILLUSION contrasts with John O'Loughlin's first venture into philosophy back in 1977, 'Between Truth and Illusion', and does so to the extent of being more the omega point of his philosophical oeuvre than anything alpha-like at the beginning. Here he has finally answered his doubts and brought his quest to rest on the basis of a collection of revised and reformatted weblogs which have every right to be regarded as aphoristically metaphysical.

Download: $5.60 Volume Thirty of Electronic Keyboard Instrumentals (EKIV030) by John O'Loughlin combines electronica and rock with jazz and folk elements to create a rich palette of sounds which also offer alternative versions of certain tracks.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 Volume Twenty-nine of Electronic Keyboard Instrumentals (EKIV029) by John O'Loughlin alternates, with some variation, between rock and electronic styles, blending the two and even replicating certain tracks with rock or electronic options.
|
 |
Download: $4.20 Volume Twenty-eight of Electronic Keyboard Instrumentals (EKIV028) by John O'Loughlin continues in the rock/electronica vein of previous volumes, if with a background sound that derives from the original CD having been played in a Panasonic SA-AK22.

Download: $5.60 Jesus - A Summing Up!, as it has been titled, somewhat with Arthur Koestler's 'Janus - A Summing Up' in mind, pretty much brings the 'oeuvre' stage of John O'Loughlin's philosophizing, which began back in 1977 and has resulted in over ninety works of philosophy, not to mention some thirty-odd works in other genres, to a satisfactory conclusion, and therefore it 'sums up' much of what has gone before and even adds some new material, much to the author's surprise, here and there - something presaging the next stage of things in the blogging with philosophical intent that was to come!
|
 |
Download: $5.60 CELESTIAL CITY AND ANTI-VANITY FAIR, with its Bunyan-like connotations, brings what John O'Loughlin had been building towards in previous texts, such as 'Yang and Anti-Yin' and 'Lamb and Anti-Lion', to its logical conclusion, underlining the gender distinctions that exist at all points of what he calls the intercardinal axial compass, so that a more comprehensively exacting approach to terminology is possible and categorically upheld. Hence the metaphysical and antimetachemical implications of the title are reflected on a parallel terminological basis which it becomes a philosophical principle and moral duty to systematically embrace.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 LAMB AND ANTI-LION delves deeper than its forerunner, 'Yang and Anti-Yin', into the noumenal sensibility of metaphysics, and this in turn permits of a clarification of other elemental positions which, under the guiding light of new findings, are proportionately modified and/or re-evaluated (revaluated). All in all, LAMB AND ANTI-LION lays down well-nigh definitive criteria of salvation and counter-damnation which leave the alpha-stemming fudging of Catholic tradition categorically in its wake.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 YANG AND ANTI-YIN sets about the task of exploring the dialectics of metaphysics and antimetachemistry as germane to what John O'Loughlin calls the northeast point of the intercardinal axial compass, and does so with a systematic consistency worthy of the challenge.

Download: $5.60 Volume Twenty-seven of Electronic Keyboard Instrumentals (EKIV027) by John O'Loughlin, with a subtle blend of rock and electronica.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 THE DIALECTICS OF GENDER AND CLASS concludes a trilogy of aphoristic books by John O'Loughlin whose focus is primarily dialectical, and does so on no uncertain axial terms, not least with regard to the elemental correlation with gender and class which comes to light when once one begins to approach dialectics from a gender- and class-oriented standpoint with a view to understanding the co-existence of each on overall axial terms. Historic stuff! And no bluff!
|
 |
Download: $5.60 THE DIALECTICS OF CIVILIZATION continues the dialectical analysis of civilization and of, in a broader sense, the evolutionary process from where it left off in 'The Dialectics of Synthetic Attraction', the author's previous book, and achieves not only enhanced certitude from a greater comprehensiveness of axial and other factors, but also embraces a well-nigh definitive insight into the distinctions between Space and Time which should leave the reader in no doubt as to the path that leads to Eternity and, hence, to the resolution of the historical process.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 THE DIALECTICS OF SYNTHETIC ATTRACTION picks up from where 'The Classless Solution' (2004) left off, and does so in considerably more detail and with greater confidence in the veracity of its contentions, with a consequence that we have, for the first time, a post-Marxian and even supra-Marxist dialectics which do more justice to the historical process than Marx, with his narrowly economic take on things, ever did. Not a work to be underestimated!
|
 |
Download: $5.60 THE CLASSLESS SOLUTION is not a re-run of Marxism even though it insists that classlessness is metaphysical and therefore only intelligible within the elemental context of metaphysics. Neither is it a re-run of Marxism in terms of its understanding and explanation of how civilization advances, which is here investigated for the first time in a way that will be taken up again in subsequent books and clarified or consummated, as the case may be.
|
 |
Download: $4.20 REVALUATIONS AND TRANSVALUATIONS has something of a Nietzschean ring to it, but is really quite distinct from anything Nietzsche wrote, as it revaluates certain prior contentions of John O'Loughlin's philosophy in the light of new insights, and couples this to an extension of his habitual transvaluating of traditional - not least Christian - positions, with remarkably original conclusions and suggestions about the desirability of transcending the axial relativity that currently divides societies and peoples, precluding the possibility of brotherly redemption.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 FATHER OMEGA'S LAST TESTAMENT is indeed an omega-oriented statement of moral guidance and intent which not only brings a more exacting comprehensiveness to bear on its analysis of axial relativity than had previously been the case with certain earlier e-books by John O'Loughlin, but, taking full advantage of this enhanced analysis, suggests the solution by means of which contemporary civilization - which is global - can attain to maturity in due omega-oriented guise, as something truly worthy to be deemed civilized.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 Volume Twenty-six of Electronic Keyboard Instrumentals (EKIV026) by John O'Loughlin, whose synth-based music continues to mesh rock and electronic styles in a kind of social theocratic blend.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 JUDGEMENTAL AFTERTHOUGHTS concludes a loose trilogy of volumes of aphoristic philosophy beginning and continuing with 'Revelationary Afterthoughts' and 'Revolutionary Afterthoughts', and the 'afterthoughts' here, subsequent to the impressive 'Free Testament of a Bound Genius' have been subtitled 'As Testamentary Evidence of a Free Genius', a genius who is not above investigating common slang and verb/noun expletives from a standpoint that, adhering to a broader framework, is able to pinpoint and categorize them with a view not only to exposing the class or gender limitations of their reductionist usage but, hopefully, to undermining the mindless alacrity with which certain persons so utilize them.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 This is the companion of and sequel to 'Revelationary Afterthoughts' (2003) and, like what precedes it, the subject-matter is particularly focused on axial relativity not only with regard to the distinctions between what have been called 'the above' and 'the below', but also between those across the axial divide who, though commonly bound, remain symptomatic of independent and incompatible traditions which can only be transcended or modified on the basis outlined in the text of what is, by any standards, another compellingly cogent volume of aphoristic philosophy.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 REVELATIONARY AFTERTHOUGHTS ... Of A Bound Genius continues in the exactingly comprehensive vein of 'The Free Testament' (2003), with a cogent presentation of its material that deserves to be regarded as revelationary ['revelatory', though grammatically more correct, would not suffice in this context], not least in respect of its understanding of the relationship between evil and good, which rather conflicts with common usage.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 THE FREE TESTAMENT, subtitled Of A Bound Genius, is one of those volumes of aphoristic philosophy by John O'Loughlin which tend towards a categorical comprehensiveness that leaves little or nothing either out of the equation (frame) or to chance, including an examination of certain numerological norms which here undergo a radical transformation commensurate with the divisions of axial relativity into both psychic and somatic contexts for both genders.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 Volume Twenty-five of Electronic Keyboard Instrumentals (EKIV025) by John O'Loughlin, pays passing tribute to Jazz and the Blues as it winds its way through a succession of tracks combining rock and electronic elements to unusual effect.
|
 |
Download: $2.79 THE LAST JUDGEMENT progresses the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism through four sections which highlight the extent to which gender conditions axial divergence and the relativity of both moral and social values in such fashion that nothing can be definitively understood - and therefore judged - without a grasp of these axial fundamentals.
|
 |
Download: $2.79 A PERFECT RESOLUTION corrects certain of what the author regards as the 'heathentistic' aberrations of its aphoristic predecessor, 'Stairway to Judgement', as it exposes the extent to which moral criteria are significantly dependent on the nature of the society of which they are a part and of how this, in turn, is conditioned by gender factors which determine its axial direction and integrity, for better or worse.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 Subtitled 'The Way to the Eternal Life of Social Theocratic Truth', STAIRWAY TO JUDGEMENT extends beyond 'Radical Progress' (2003) in its comprehensively exacting approach to axial relativity and the differences which characterize each approach to civilization and shows just how careful one must be in defining that which appertains to 'the world' and/or 'the people' if one isn't to fall between two stools or, in this case, axes.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 RADICAL PROGRESS - The Only Way Forward ... is confident of its direction and of the terms by which such progress can and should be effected, as it analyzes axial relativity from the standpoint of the transcendent.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 Volume Twenty-Four of Electronic Keyboard Instrumentals (EKIV024) of a 209+ compositional oeuvre by John O'Loughlin, continuing in the vein of rock/electronica analogous to a Social Theocratic mean.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 Volume Twenty-Three of Electronic Keyboard Instrumentals by John O'Loughlin, which is one of his all-time favorites in respect of the subtle blend of rock and electronic styles.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 This volume of aphoristic philosophy, like its precursor 'Opti-mystic Projections', continues with an analysis of Anglo-American relations vis-a-vis Europe and, with conclusions that are less than flattering to either side, addresses the problem from a Social Theocratic standpoint as that which is more likely to unblock any division rooted in Catholic/Protestant antipathy and suspicion, no matter how disguised or unspoken.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 This project examines the cultural and political differences between Europe and America and contends that Britain's 'special relationship' with America, although well-intentioned, continues to undermine greater European cooperation and integration - a problem for Europe which can only be solved if and when a number of the suggestions made in this title are implemented.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 As suggested by the title, this volume of aphoristic philosophy continues to explore the axial differences between what has, in general terms, been called the bureaucratic/theocratic axis of a rising diagonal and the autocratic/democratic axis of a falling one, and to draw irrefutable conclusions from the contrasts so examined.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 Divided into four sections, this revelatory project carries on from earlier ones the task of highlighting the axial distinctions between Social Theocracy and Social Democracy, and is more terminologically exacting than ever before.
|
 |
Download: $4.20 Volume Twenty-Two of Electronic Keyboard Instrumentals (EKIV022) by John O'Loughlin is from a 240+ volume oeuvre of instrumental music with a rock/electronic orientation that parallels, to a degree, the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism, while still transcending anything purely socialistic.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 Volume Twenty-One of Electronic Keyboard Instrumentals (EKIV021) by John O'Loughlin, with alternations between rock and electronic styles which often fuse into an intermediate genre analogous to progressive rock and/or regressive electronica.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 ESCHATOLOGY OR SCATOLOGY - Judgement at the Crossroads, has a developed sense of axial relativity, not least in respect of the distinctions between that which sensibly radicalizes the 'high road' and that which, stemming from sensibility, radicalizes the 'low road' in such fashion that sensibility is eclipsed by a form of neo-sensuality owing more to autocracy than to democracy.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 APOTHEOSIS OF THE GNOSIS fairly lives up to its name or, rather, title in terms of the extent to which it both draws the various strands of the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism together and achieves fresh insights into key positions that takes this philosophy to new heights of metaphysical understanding and certitude.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 Volume Twenty of Electronic Keyboard Instrumentals (EKIV020) takes the music of John O'Loughlin a stage further on its road of self-discovery, with the blend of rock and electronica characterizing his music favouring the latter.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 THE STRUGGLE FOR ULTIMATE FREEDOM is all about the development of metaphysics, coupled to what is called antimetachemistry, to its ultimate global and therefore properly universal goal, a goal which can only be reached from a democratic precondition and in relation to the enhancement of psyche on terms commensurate with global requirement.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 THE VIRTUOUS CIRCLES is all about involutional sensibility as a male-led factor appertaining to both physics and, especially, metaphysics, where virtue, as shorthand for gender fidelity or 'sync', is most perfect because godly.
|
 |
Download: $5.60 Volume Nineteen of Electronic Keyboard Instrumentals by John O'Loughlin kind of alternates between rock and electronic music to something of a hybrid effect.
