REVOLUTIONARY AFTERTHOUGHTS
Of A Bound Genius

The entire text of which can be accessed
via the remarks below:–
Dealing with essentially the same
subject-matter as its companion text Revelationary Afterthoughts (2003), this
succeeding work, Revolutionary Afterthoughts, is even more exactingly insightful in its understanding of the
differences between the eternal freedoms that rule or lead and the temporal
bindings that submit, in worldly fashion, to the alternative dispensations so
antithetically ranged above them, whether in contemporary or traditional
guise. Here there is no question but that the worldly division between what
has been called ‘the meek’ and ‘the just’ is symptomatic of two entirely
different and largely independent axial orientations, an ascending axis of
church-hegemonic criteria and a descending axis of state-hegemonic criteria,
and that the righteous salvation of those who meekly pertain to the former is
crucial to the undermining if not, eventually, complete invalidation of the
latter. That said, salvation, for it to work, must be conceived on higher and
more radical terms than has ever before characterized the diagonally ascending
axis if ‘the meek’, as defined in the ensuing text, are to be more
lastingly and efficaciously delivered not only from their own worldly
limitations but, even more importantly, from the sorts of netherworldly
predations to which, via those limitations, they are perforce subjected by ‘the
vain’, or those who rule ‘the just’ to their mutual exploitative and
immoral advantage. As in all my works, there is both further logical
progress and, in the achievement of such progress, the necessary correction,
from time to time, of previous contentions, and this work is no exception, all
the more gratifyingly so in that what it has progressed to is nothing short of
an unequivocal endorsement of a truth that dares to speak its name because it is
genuinely universal and capable of resolving, once and for all, the dilemma of
worldly division. – John O’Loughlin.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John O’Loughlin was born in Salthill, Galway, the Republic
of Ireland,
of Irish- and British-born parents in 1952. Following a parental split partly due to his mother's Aldershot origins (her father, a Presbyterian from Donegal, had served in the British Army),
he was brought to England by his mother and grandmother (who had initially returned to Ireland with her daughter upon the death of her Aldershot-based husband after a lengthy marital absence from Athenry) in the mid-50s and, having had the benefit of private tuition from a Catholic priest, subsequently attended St. Joseph's and St. George's RC schools in Aldershot, Hants, and, with an enforced change of
denomination from Catholic to Protestant in consequence of having been put into care with a children's home
by his mother upon the death and repatriation of his ethnically-protective grandmother, he went on to attend first Barrow Hedges Primary School in Carshalton Beeches, Surrey, and then Carshalton High School for Boys, where he ultimately became a sixth-form prefect. Upon leaving high 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, one of which was at Ivor Mairants Music Centre, to work at the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music in Bedford
Square, where, with some prior experience himself of having sat and passed (with merit) an ABRSM piano exam, he eventually became responsible for booking examination venues throughout Britain and Ireland.
After a brief flirtation with A Level English and History at Redhill
Technical College back in Surrey, where he was then living, he returned to his former job in the West End
but, due to a combination of personal factors, not the least of which had to do with the depressing consequences of an enforced return to north London, he left 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 other qualifications, he has steadfastly continued with ever since. His novels include Changing Worlds (1976), Cross-Purposes (1979), Logan's Influence (1980), Sublimated Relations (1981), and False Pretences (1982). Since the mid-80s John O'Loughlin has dedicated himself almost exclusively to
philosophy, which he regards as his true literary vocation, and has penned many 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).
