This project carries on the task from Eschatology or Scatology (which is a sort of 'to be or not to be' title) the task of highlighting the distinctions between Social Theocracy and Social Democracy, though always from a perspective favouring the former, and brings a fresh sense of exactitude to bear on a number of terms which have either been used interchangeably or in a more general way in the past, while simultaneously developing a more comprehensively exacting 'take' on that which appertains to free psyche and bound soma and that, by contrast, which appertains to free soma and bound psyche, so that one need be in no doubt that criteria applicable to the former are largely, if not completely, irrelevant to the latter....Which is why I have developed a different set of terminological markers for each context, whether in respect of noumenal or phenomenal, upper- or lower-class, criteria, in order to avoid ambiguity or ambivalence as to the sense in which these terms are being applied, and to preclude, as far as possible, future confusion over their use. But the 'new revelation' alluded to in the subtitle to Apocalypso has to do with more than specific terminological practice, no matter how comprehensively exacting, since it is a revelation, above all, about life and the means by which life can be enhanced in respect of the more than Christian order of salvation which is what Social Theocracy is really all about. – John O'Loughlin.

John O’Loughlin was born in Salthill, Galway, the Republic of Ireland, of mixed Irish- and British-born parents in 1952. Following a parental split he was brought to England by his mother and grandmother (who had initially returned to Ireland with her Aldershot-born daughter upon the death of her husband) in the mid-50s and subsequently attended schools in Aldershot (Hants) and, with an enforced change of denomination from Catholic to Protestant in consequence of having been placed in care by his mother upon the death and repatriation of his ethnically-protective grandmother, Carshalton (Surrey). Shortly after leaving secondary school in pre-GCSE era 1970 with an assortment of CSEs (Certificate of Secondary Education) and GCEs (General Certificate of Education), including history and music, he moved to London and went on, via two short-lived jobs, to work at the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music in Bedford Square, where he eventually became responsible, as a clerical officer, for booking ABRSM examination venues throughout Britain and Ireland. After a brief flirtation with further education at Redhill Technical College back in Surrey, where he had enrolled to do English and History A Levels, he returned to his former job in the West End but, due to a combination of factors, quit the Associated Board in 1976 and began to pursue a literary vocation which, despite a brief spell as a computer and office-skills tutor at Hornsey YMCA in the late '80s and early '90s, during which time he added some NVQs to his curriculum, he has steadfastly continued with ever since. His novels include Changing Worlds (1976), An Interview Reviewed (1979), Secret Exchanges (1980), Sublimated Relations (1981), and Deceptive Motives (1981). Since the mid-80s John O'Loughlin has dedicated himself to philosophy, which he regards as his true literary vocation, and has penned numerous titles of a philosophical nature, including Devil and God (1985–6), Towards the Supernoumenon (1987), Elemental Spectra (1988–9), Philosophical Truth (1991–2) and, more recently, The Best of All Possible Worlds (2008), The Centre of Truth (2009), Insane but not Mad (2011) and Philosophic Flights of Poetic Fancy (2012).
