Radical Progress

As suggested by the title, this volume of aphoristic philosophy has a concept of progress which is radical and far-reaching in its left-wing implications, albeit in relation to the sphere of religion rather than economics, which is the only sphere, so far as John O’Loughlin is concerned, which can be genuinely progressive, provided, however, that the religion itself is genuine and therefore transcendentalist, stemming, as argued in the text, from an antihumanist precondition. But that is only one axis, or diagonal plane, in the totality of axial factors at work in different kinds of societies, whether on a primary or a secondary basis, and in Radical Progress Mr O’Loughlin has gone into the distinctions between church-hegemonic/state-subordinate and state-hegemonic/church-subordinate societies in no uncertain terms, outlining the different ideals and fates which appertain to them with a logical consistency that leaves one in no doubt as to the relative value of each type of society, whether rising diagonally or falling diagonally, and making a conclusive case for that society which has the capacity to lead people higher, as though to posterior planes, rather than simply rule over them from an anterior height in opposition to something lower that is nevertheless distinct from the kind of lowness obtaining across the great divide of the world, as explained in this, the author’s most definitive and outstanding text to-date. – A Centretruths editorial.
