This 2002 e-book
directly follows on from Freedom
and Determinism (2001) not
only with a
deeper understanding of the distinction between Nature and
Civilization, but
with greater insight into the division within both Nature and
Civilization of sensual and
sensible alternatives,
as well as with a wider interpretation of Nature and Civilization such
that
brings a more exactingly comprehensive perspective to bear on each,
whilst
still adhering to a specific civilized bias, as before.
But as well as an enlargement of perspective
which allows for a sharp differentiation between the natural and the
man-made,
or artificial, there is an enhancement of logic such that clarifies
the
issues
of salvation and damnation as never before, so that there can be no
doubt as to
the issues involved and on what basis a sensible alternative to a
sensual
predominance should be achieved. In this
respect, the distinction between freedom and binding (determinism), so
characteristic of various earlier texts, is less symptomatic of the
one
or the
other than of both sensual and sensible contexts, if with
vastly
different emphases, as described in some detail in what is, by any
accounts,
the most lucidly and logically consistent apologetics for an
omega-oriented
alternative, in sensibility, to an alpha-besotted decadence and/or
barbarity,
in sensuality, that could be imagined.
Finally, we have to point out that the appendix is virtually as
significant as the work itself in the way in which, as the effective
omega
point of the text, it brings to a long-overdue head a dichotomy which
until
quite recently the author hadn't realized was expressive of a
generalization,
but which at last, in rather more than Kantian or Schopenhauerian
fashion, he was able to utilize in both concrete and abstract, natural
and
psychic realms on terms which do it altogether more specific
contextual
justice
- the dichotomy, I mean, between the phenomenal and the noumenal
which, at long last, Mr O'Loughlin has
decided to
bring into line with that elemental comprehensiveness for which, we
believe,
his philosophy will be esteemed in times to-come. – A Centretruths
