The real point of this philosophical project becomes obvious enough as we proceed ever more comprehensively through the Elements and their various subdivisions to discover the actual basis of the distinction between soma (formerly ‘nature’ in my texts) and psyche, and how they exist, according to gender, on both primal and supreme terms.  In fact, this work tightens-up on so many of the theories and conclusions which preceded it in my philosophical oeuvre, that it would be difficult to imagine anything tighter and effectively more definitive in relation to them, since it provides logical evidence for the distinction between profanity and sanctity as applying not merely to men, much less women, but also to gods and devils, as explained in some detail.  Yet it also drives home the real point of cultural truth, contrasting it not merely with the moral bankruptcy of civilized knowledge, but with the agonizingly annihilating prospect of those secular realities which hang over the contemporary world in self-denying philistinism and are likely to claim ever more victims in the course of time unless the alternative I have suggested – and advocated all along – is democratically implemented and permitted to develop in the logical unfolding of an evolutionary solution to the problem of Man (as defined in the text).  For modern man is a problem, not a solution, and until his reign is officially consigned to the rubbish bin of world history, so to speak, it is impossible to see a brighter future for mankind in general, the sort of supra-human future alluded to in the above title, which should be the final player in the game of life as it evolves ever-more upwards and inwards. – John O’Loughlin.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

 

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 daughter on the death of her Aldershot-based husband) in the mid-50s and subsequently attended St. Joseph's and St. George's schools in Aldershot, Hants, and, upon the death and repatriation of his ethnically-conservative grandmother, also spent a short spell at a school in Oakham, Rutland, before, with an enforced change of denomination from Catholic to Protestant in consequence of having been put into care with Hill House Children's Home in Carshalton Beeches, Surrey, by his mother, he attended first Barrow Hedges Primary School and then Carshalton High School for Boys. Upon leaving the latter 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, following promotion to 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 had enrolled to do English and History A Levels, he returned to his former job in the West End but 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 Management Agency within the local YMCA in the late '80s and early '90s, 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 almost exclusively to philosophy, which he regards as his true literary vocation, and has penned various 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).
