This substantial
collection of essays, dialogues, aphorisms and maxims, dating from
1983–4, is
largely the reverse, in formal terms, of The
Will to Truth, its
philosophical precursor, inasmuch as its first part is essayistic and
its
second part entirely composed of dialogues, thereby again bringing
these two
modes of philosophical phenomenality – as opposed to the noumenality,
as it
were, of the aphorisms and maxims – into harmony or, at any rate,
close
juxtaposition. Here, as before, the
essays constitute the main part, and they are once more conceived
within the
protective umbrella of a uniform ideology – namely the Social
Transcendentalism
which John O’Loughlin had been building towards in earlier works, but
which here
comes to ideological fruition. Thus,
whatever the subject, it is treated from a uniform ideological
standpoint, the
standpoint of a socially transcendent outlook on life, and this even
when Mr O’Loughlin
am not consciously aware of the fact.
Such an outlook is beyond humanism and all other worldly
ideologies,
whether of the left or the right, having to do with evolutionary
striving towards
a 'divine kingdom' which is, in a special centre-oriented sense,
centrist in
character, that is, centripetal and centred.
Yet this 'divine kingdom' does not follow death, as we
customarily
understand it, but presupposes the ordering of society according to
certain
idealistic principles designed to free mankind from its atomic past
and
indeed
from itself, since the final outcome can only be supra-human in
character. Hence in each of these essays
and dialogues,
not to mention the ensuing aphorisms and maxims, a Social
Transcendentalist concern
with godly truth is what really matters, and it is this which leads us
towards
the prospect of the heavenly millennium to-come.
Whether
the
subject
happens
to be art,
literature, sex, politics, psychology, drugs or whatever, the emphasis
on Truth
from a specific ideological perspective is what lifts Social
Transcendentalism – Socialistic Means to a Transcendent End (to
give its
full title) beyond the sterile realm of intellectual speculation
towards thee
potent challenge of universal freedom. – A Centretruths Editorial
