Reworking much of the material contained in Private Observations, this work, also dating from 2001, goes deeper into the distinction between gender-conditioned forms of culture and civilization, as well as develops a more comprehensive perspective on sin and grace on the one hand and crime and punishment on the other, specifically with regard to a distinction between nature and psyche in both sensuality and sensibility. Also of especial note here is the departure from previous ascriptions of will, spirit, ego, and soul to each gender in favour of the modification of psyche attendant upon a natural bias and, conversely, the modification of nature attendant upon a psychic bias, or bias towards psyche. All in all, The Myth of Equality succeeds in bringing John O’Loughlin’s ideological philosophy to an inequalitarian and very pluralistic head, such that confirms the desirability of elemental comprehensiveness on both class- and gender-conditioned terms. – A Centretruths editorial.
