which follow the introductory remarks below:–
Yet another
cyclical text of aphoristic purism which goes to the roots of Western insanity
and offers both an explanation of and alternative to the dilemma of what I call
the paradoxical primacy afflicting modern society which, granting undue
prominence to the inorganic, has the effect of twisting moral and other
evaluations towards an anti-natural perspective in which ugliness passes for
beauty and falsity for truth, to name but two categories. Also of especial note in this project is an
attack on what I like to think of as the delusion of curved space in relation
to spatial space, and my solution not only to the nature of space as something
divisible between straight and curved, but to the division of time, volume, and
mass along similar gender-based, albeit element-conditioned, lines. – 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 following the death of her Aldershot-based husband after a lengthy marital absence) in the mid-50s and subsequently attended St. Joseph's and St. George's schools in
Aldershot, Hants, and, with an enforced change of
denomination from Catholic to Protestant in consequence of having been put into
care with Hill House Children's Home by his mother upon the death and repatriation of his ethnically-protective Athenry grandmother, then went on to attend first Barrow Hedges Primary School in Carshalton Beeches, Surrey, 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, as a clerical officer Gd.1, for booking examination venues throughout Britain and Ireland.
After a brief flirtation with further education 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 factors, left the ABRSM in 1976 and began to pursue a literary vocation which,
despite a brief spell as a computer-cum-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 successive 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).
