BEYOND TRUTH AND ILLUSION

BEYOND TRUTH AND ILLUSIONBEYOND TRUTH AND ILLUSION (e-book)

Download: $3.17

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.

JESUS - A SUMMING UP

JESUS - A SUMMING UPJESUS - A SUMMING UP (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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!

CELESTIAL CITY AND ANTI-VANITY FAIR

CELESTIAL CITY AND ANTI-VANITY FAIRCELESTIAL CITY AND ANTI-VANITY FAIR (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

LAMB AND ANTI-LION

LAMB AND ANTI-LIONLAMB AND ANTI-LION (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

YANG AND ANTI-YIN

YANG AND ANTI-YINYANG AND ANTI-YIN (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

THE DIALECTICS OF GENDER AND CLASS

THE DIALECTICS OF GENDER AND CLASSTHE DIALECTICS OF GENDER AND CLASS (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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!

THE DIALECTICS OF CIVILIZATION

THE DIALECTICS OF CIVILIZATIONTHE DIALECTICS OF CIVILIZATION (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

THE DIALECTICS OF SYNTHETIC ATTRACTION

THE DIALECTICS OF SYNTHETIC ATTRACTIONTHE DIALECTICS OF SYNTHETIC ATTRACTION (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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!

THE CLASSLESS SOLUTION

THE CLASSLESS SOLUTIONTHE CLASSLESS SOLUTION (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

REVALUATIONS AND TRANSVALUATIONS

REVALUATIONS AND TRANSVALUATIONSREVALUATIONS AND TRANSVALUATIONS (e-book)

Download: $4.77

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.

FATHER OMEGA'S LAST TESTAMENT

FATHER OMEGA'S LAST TESTAMENTFATHER OMEGA'S LAST TESTAMENT (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

THE LAST JUDGEMENT

THE LAST JUDGEMENTTHE LAST JUDGEMENT (e-book)

Download: $3.17

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.

A PERFECT RESOLUTION

A PERFECT RESOLUTIONA PERFECT RESOLUTION (e-book)

Download: $3.17

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.

STAIRWAY TO JUDGEMENT

STAIRWAY TO JUDGEMENTSTAIRWAY TO JUDGEMENT (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

RADICAL PROGRESS - The Only Way Forward

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.

UNFLATTERING CONCLUSIONS

UNFLATTERING CONCLUSIONSUNFLATTERING CONCLUSIONS (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

OPTI-MYSTIC PROJECTIONS

OPTI-MYSTIC PROJECTIONSOPTI-MYSTIC PROJECTIONS (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

AT THE CROSSROADS OF AXIAL DIVERGENCE

AT THE CROSSROADS OF AXIAL DIVERGENCEAT THE CROSSROADS OF AXIAL DIVERGENCE (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

APOCALYPSO - The New Revelation

APOCALYPSO - The New RevelationAPOCALYPSO - The New Revelation (e-book)

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.

ESCHATOLOGY OR SCATOLOGY - Judgement at the Crossroads

ESCHATOLOGY OR SCATOLOGY - Judgement at the CrossroadsESCHATOLOGY OR SCATOLOGY - Judgement at the Crossroads (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

APOTHEOSIS OF THE GNOSIS

APOTHEOSIS OF THE GNOSISAPOTHEOSIS OF THE GNOSIS (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

THE STRUGGLE FOR ULTIMATE FREEDOM

THE STRUGGLE FOR ULTIMATE FREEDOMTHE STRUGGLE FOR ULTIMATE FREEDOM (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

THE VIRTUOUS CIRCLES

THE VIRTUOUS CIRCLESTHE VIRTUOUS CIRCLES (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

THE END OF EVOLUTION

THE END OF EVOLUTIONTHE END OF EVOLUTION (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

THE HIGH-WAY OF TRUTH

THE HIGH-WAY OF TRUTHTHE HIGH-WAY OF TRUTH (e-book)

Download: $6.36

THE HIGH-WAY OF TRUTH, the title of which puns highway with high way, is an unequivocal affirmation of Social Transcendentalism and of the need for a rejection of traditional faith if truth is to emerge finally triumphant.

NO MAN-OEUVRE

NO MAN-OEUVRENO MAN-OEUVRE (e-book)

Download: $6.36

NO MAN-OEUVRE is a further example of John O'Loughlin's aphoristic philosophy in full Social Transcendentalist flight towards an ideological and/or ontological summit, and the title aptly puns the connection between godliness and righteousness.

ETHNIC UNIVERSALITY

ETHNIC UNIVERSALITY is about the promise of globalization and the universal oneness that it portends if taken to a sensible conclusion. In that respect it is the antithesis of anything cosmic.

PATHWAYS TO 'THE KINGDOM'

PATHWAYS TO 'THE KINGDOM'PATHWAYS TO 'THE KINGDOM' (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

THE MAXIMUM TRUTH QUARTET

THE MAXIMUM TRUTH QUARTETTHE MAXIMUM TRUTH QUARTET (e-book)

Download: $9.55

THE MAXIMUM TRUTH QUARTET combines four volumes of aphoristic philosophy under one heading, beginning with 'Maximum Truth' and progressing, via 'Truthful Maxims' and 'Informal Maxims', to 'Maximum Informality'. Thus this quartet of books begins with a 'maximum' and ends with one, all of which were written in 1993.

PHILOSOPHICAL RUMINATIONS & THEOSOPHICAL ILLUMINATIONS

PHILOSOPHICAL RUMINATIONS & THEOSOPHICAL ILLUMINATIONSPHILOSOPHICAL RUMINATIONS & THEOSOPHICAL ILLUMINATIONS (e-book)

Download: $9.55

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.

OPUS POSTSCRIPTUM

OPUS POSTSCRIPTUMOPUS POSTSCRIPTUM (e-book)

Download: $20.72

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.

THE YANG AND ANTI-YIN QUARTET

THE YANG AND ANTI-YIN QUARTETTHE YANG AND ANTI-YIN QUARTET (e-book)

Download: $15.93

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.

THE FATHER OMEGA SEXTET

THE FATHER OMEGA SEXTETTHE FATHER OMEGA SEXTET (e-book)

Download: $19.12

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.

THE FREE TESTAMENT QUARTET

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.

THE RADICAL PROGRESS QUARTET

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.

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.

THE VIRTUOUS CIRCLES QUARTET

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.

THE ETHNIC UNIVERSALITY QUARTET

THE ETHNIC UNIVERSALITY QUARTETTHE ETHNIC UNIVERSALITY QUARTET (e-book)

Download: $12.74

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.

TOTAL TRUTH

TOTAL TRUTHTOTAL TRUTH (e-book)

Download: $11.15

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.

VALUATIONS OF A SOCIAL TRANSCENDENTALIST

VALUATIONS OF A SOCIAL TRANSCENDENTALISTVALUATIONS OF A SOCIAL TRANSCENDENTALIST (e-book)

Download: $11.15

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.

ALPHA AND OMEGA - Diabolic Beginning and Divine End

ALPHA AND OMEGA - Diabolic Beginning and Divine EndALPHA AND OMEGA - Diabolic Beginning and Divine End (e-book)

Download: $11.15

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.

THE OMEGA POINT OF CULTURAL TRUTH

THE OMEGA POINT OF CULTURAL TRUTHTHE OMEGA POINT OF CULTURAL TRUTH (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

POINT OMEGA POINT

POINT OMEGA POINTPOINT OMEGA POINT (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

FREEDOM AND DETERMINISM

FREEDOM AND DETERMINISMFREEDOM AND DETERMINISM (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

THE MYTH OF EQUALITY

THE MYTH OF EQUALITYTHE MYTH OF EQUALITY (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

PRIVATE OBSERVATIONS

PRIVATE OBSERVATIONSPRIVATE OBSERVATIONS (e-book)

Download: $9.55

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.

OPUS D'OEUVRE

OPUS D'OEUVREOPUS D'OEUVRE (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

MAGNUS DEI

MAGNUS DEIMAGNUS DEI (e-book)

Download: $7.96

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.

THE RIGHT TO SANITY

THE RIGHT TO SANITYTHE RIGHT TO SANITY (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

THE PROMISE OF 'KINGDOM COME'

THE PROMISE OF 'KINGDOM COME'THE PROMISE OF 'KINGDOM COME' (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

THE TOTALITY OF NATURE

THE TOTALITY OF NATURETHE TOTALITY OF NATURE (e-book)

Download: $7.96

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.

BRINGING THE JUDGEMENT

BRINGING THE JUDGEMENTBRINGING THE JUDGEMENT (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

BEYOND IMAGINATION

BEYOND IMAGINATIONBEYOND IMAGINATION (e-book)

Download: $4.77

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.

THE TRIUMPH OF BEING

THE TRIUMPH OF BEINGTHE TRIUMPH OF BEING (e-book)

Download: $7.96

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.

TERMINOLOGICAL DICTIONARY

TERMINOLOGICAL DICTIONARYTERMINOLOGICAL DICTIONARY (e-book)

Download: $11.15

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.

THE KINGDOM OF THE SOUL

THE KINGDOM OF THE SOULTHE KINGDOM OF THE SOUL (e-book)

Download: $7.96

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.

THE CORE OF THE SELF

THE CORE OF THE SELFTHE CORE OF THE SELF (e-book)

Download: $7.96

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.

THE SOUL OF BEING

THE SOUL OF BEINGTHE SOUL OF BEING (e-book)

Download: $7.96

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.

ULTRANOTES FROM BEYOND

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.

DEISTIC DELIVERANCE

DEISTIC DELIVERANCEDEISTIC DELIVERANCE (e-book)

Download: $7.96

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.

THE IDEOLOGICAL PHILOSOPHY

THE IDEOLOGICAL PHILOSOPHYTHE IDEOLOGICAL PHILOSOPHY (e-book)

Download: $9.55

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.

REVOLUTIONS & REVELATIONS

REVOLUTIONS & REVELATIONSREVOLUTIONS & REVELATIONS (e-book)

Download: $12.74

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.

OMEGANOTES OF AN IDEOLOGICAL PHILOSOPHER

OMEGANOTES OF AN IDEOLOGICAL PHILOSOPHEROMEGANOTES OF AN IDEOLOGICAL PHILOSOPHER (e-book)

Download: $9.55

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.

OMEGA MAXIMS & MAXIMUM OMEGA

OMEGA MAXIMS & MAXIMUM OMEGAOMEGA MAXIMS & MAXIMUM OMEGA (e-book)

Download: $11.15

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.

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.

ETERNAL LIFE

ETERNAL LIFEETERNAL LIFE (e-book)

Download: $12.74

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.

LAST (W)RITES

LAST (W)RITESLAST (W)RITES (e-book)

Download: $9.55

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.

OCCASIONAL MAXIMS & MAXIMUM OCCASIONS

OCCASIONAL MAXIMS & MAXIMUM OCCASIONSOCCASIONAL MAXIMS & MAXIMUM OCCASIONS (e-book)

Download: $9.55

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.

FROM PUNISHMENT TO GRACE

FROM PUNISHMENT TO GRACEFROM PUNISHMENT TO GRACE (e-book)

Download: $9.55

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.

FROM SATAN TO SATURN

FROM SATAN TO SATURNFROM SATAN TO SATURN (e-book)

Download: $9.55

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.

INFORMAL MAXIMS & MAXIMUM INFORMALITY

INFORMAL MAXIMS & MAXIMUM INFORMALITYINFORMAL MAXIMS & MAXIMUM INFORMALITY (e-book)

Download: $11.15

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.

MAXIMUM TRUTH & TRUTHFUL MAXIMS

MAXIMUM TRUTH & TRUTHFUL MAXIMSMAXIMUM TRUTH & TRUTHFUL MAXIMS (e-book)

Download: $9.55

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'.

LAST JUDGEMENTS

LAST JUDGEMENTSLAST JUDGEMENTS (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

VERITAS PHILOSOPHICUS

VERITAS PHILOSOPHICUSVERITAS PHILOSOPHICUS (e-book)

Download: $11.15

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.

PHILOSOPHICAL TRUTH

PHILOSOPHICAL TRUTHPHILOSOPHICAL TRUTH (e-book)

Download: $9.55

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.

CRITIQUE OF POST-DIALECTICAL IDEALISM

CRITIQUE OF POST-DIALECTICAL IDEALISMCRITIQUE OF POST-DIALECTICAL IDEALISM (e-book)

Download: $7.96

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.

ELEMENTAL SPECTRA

ELEMENTAL SPECTRAELEMENTAL SPECTRA (e-book)

Download: $11.15

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.

TOWARDS THE SUPERNOUMENON

TOWARDS THE SUPERNOUMENONTOWARDS THE SUPERNOUMENON (e-book)

Download: $11.15

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.

FROM MATERIALISM TO IDEALISM

FROM MATERIALISM TO IDEALISMFROM MATERIALISM TO IDEALISM (e-book)

Download: $9.55

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'.

DEVIL AND GOD - The Omega Book

DEVIL AND GOD - The Omega BookDEVIL AND GOD - The Omega Book (e-book)

Download: $12.74

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.

EVALUATIONS AND REVALUATIONS

EVALUATIONS AND REVALUATIONSEVALUATIONS AND REVALUATIONS (e-book)

Download: $6.36

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.

SOCIAL TRANSCENDENTALISM - Socialistic Means to a Transcendent End

SOCIAL TRANSCENDENTALISM - Socialistic Means to a Transcendent EndSOCIAL TRANSCENDENTALISM - Socialistic Means to a Transcendent End (e-book)

Download: $11.15

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).
