Mr O’Loughlin’s first exercise in philosophy, originally penned in 1977, takes dualism as its starting-point and develops its commonsensical logic through three parts, the first of which is essayistic, the second a series of aphoristic reflections on the philosophy outlined in Part One, and the third a dialogue between the author, the so-named 'philosopher', and an imaginary student ... that strives both to clarify and enlarge upon the main contentions of the work, which remains consistently dualistic. - A Centretruths editorial.
