Philosophy eBooks by John O'Loughlin of CDM

As with John O'Loughlin'd last title, 'Keys to the Kingdom of Truth', this new work tends to utilize both aphorisms discursively and maxims sequentially in a kind of compromise between contrasting approaches to his metaphysical philosophy, the one more literary and the other more technical, with some material of an autobiographical nature included for good measure, as also in an attempt to clarify his situation as a self-styled intellectual whose 'journey' to a well-nigh definitive realization of his thinking did not happen overnight or without considerable effort both personally and vis-a-vis whatever obstacles domestic and/or environmental circumstances may have thrown in his somewhat disadvantaged way. Nevertheless, the intellectual adventure somehow continued, and one is relieved to say that it has eventually attained to something of a culmination beyond which further progress in this regard would be virtually impossible, given the conclusive nature of, in particular, so many of the maxims, whose sequentially comprehensive structures matured only gradually but nonetheless cumulatively to a point from which it should be possible for him to leave off journeying, having reached his adventure's end in what must surely be the most definitive philosophy logically imaginable, if not – dare one say it? - ever, the form of which – if there is such a thing – follows from the content and not vice versa, which conduces towards a certain contentment with the overall results. – A Centretruths editorial
