which follow the remarks below:–
Even by my own structurally exacting standards this is an
exceptionally demanding work, the logical comprehensiveness of which matches if
not surpasses the best of what I have done in the past, with the benefit of a
number of theoretical modifications brought to bear on the overall
Element-derived frameworks which, as suggested by the title, encompass both
subatomic elements as hegemonic factors and pseudo-subatomic pseudo-elements as
subordinate factors in any given pairing, or complementarity,
that may be presumed to exist in axial polarity with either a noumenal or a phenomenal, an ethereal or a corporeal,
counterpart within both church-hegemonic and state-hegemonic parameters. But the conclusions arrived at in this work
are only the end-product, as it were, of the formative and speculative
material which led to them, and it was during the earlier phases of its construction
that, not altogether surprisingly, the writing was most discursive and, frankly, open to a variety of
literary avenues, including material of an autobiographical and poetical nature
that helped to give the text a certain literary openness which should prove as
intriguing to the general reader as to those whose orientation is philosophical
but who like their philosophy to be supplemented in such eclectic fashion, as much to
preclude pretentious academicism or undue tedium as to refresh the mind and keep one wondering as to
what exactly is coming next. Therefore one
shouldn’t be afraid of the title, because there is much here that would have
absolutely nothing to do with it, and what does ... is logically credible enough to
stand at the apex of my philosophical adventure in conclusion to a long 'inner journey', one that began back in the early 1970s with my first tentative forays into literature. – John O’Loughlin.

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 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 by his mother upon the death and repatriation of
his ethnically-conservative grandmother, he went on to attend first Barrow Hedges Primary School in
Carshalton Beeches, Surrey, and then Carshalton High School for Boys in Sutton, 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 up
to London and went on, via two short-lived jobs, one of which was at Ivor
Mairants Music Centre on Rathbone Place, 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 Gd.4 piano exam, he eventually became
responsible for booking examination venues throughout Britain and Ireland for the Board's estimable examiners. After a brief flirtation with
English and History A'Levels 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, left the
Associated Board in 1976 and began to pursue a literary vocation which, despite
a brief spell as a computer-cum-office-skills tutor at Hornsey YMCA in the late '80s and early
'90s, during which time he added some computer-related 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 numerous titles of a philosophical nature,
including Devil and God
(1985–6), Towards the
Supernoumenon (1987), Elemental
Spectra (1988–9), Philosophical
Truth (1991–2) Maximum Truth (1993), The Soul of Being (1998), Point Omega Point (2002), The Dialectics of Synthetic Attraction (2004), The Centre of Truth
(2009), Musings of a Superfluous Man
(2011) and, more recently, Atoms and Pseudo-Atoms (2014), The Black Notebooks (2015), and Black Sabbaticals (2015). John O'Loughlin is a life-long bachelor who has lived at various addresses in the north London borough of Haringey since 1974, the year he moved from Merstham, Surrey. Copyright © 2024 Centretruths
