This volume of
aphoristic philosophy brings to a 'judgemental' head a loose quartet
of
works
by John O'Loughlin, beginning with The
Free Testament of a Bound Genius,
and has been subtitled 'As Testamentary Evidence of a Free Genius',
since it
rather departs from the terminological bounds set by the
aforementioned
work,
not to mention the two intervening ones, Revelationary
Afterthoughts and Revolutionary Afterthoughts,
as it explores, in some detail, the use applicability of
common slang and verb-noun expletives from a comprehensively exacting
philosophical standpoint, with many interesting and novel conclusions,
some of
which might even contribute towards undermining the mindless alacrity
with
which certain persons go about denigrating others in carnally reductionist
terms.
Therefore Mr O'Loughlin has,
in
a sense,
'judged' such terms, however irrational their common usage, and, it
seems,
brought some logical sense to bear on them, thereby removing them from
the pit
of vulgar or obscene slang in which they tend, with unthinking people,
to
languish. But that is not all he
has done in this highly demanding text; for the reader will soon
discern that
he has a gift for parables and metaphorical irony which should shed
some light
on recent history and the contemporary political scene most
especially,
thereby
preparing the ground for progressive, radical change in the decades
and centuries to come.
Finally,
Mr
O'Loughlin
has returned to one of his favourite subjects, which might be
described
as the
ideological or ontological understanding of literature in respect of
what he
regards as its four principal branches, viz. drama, poetry, prose, and
philosophy, and has, with the assistance of his customary elemental
and
axial
theories (here brought to a veritable apotheosis), endeavoured to shed
some
light on their differences, in both gender and class terms,
thereby
indicating
the
path which leads not only to the understanding of literature in
a deeper and wider sense but, hopefully, to its eventual overcoming on
the most
synthetically artificial basis, with especial reference to philosophy
of the
utmost truth-oriented order which, with him, attains to an all-time
peak of
metaphysical perfection which should suffice to expose the poetic
half-truths
and perhaps, indirectly, see off the dramatic lies and prosaic
half-lies in the
difficult but interesting times ahead. – A Centretruths
