Here at last, in this four-part work, is the actual omega point of my philosophical oeuvre as far as the achievement of a definitive insight into the relationship of freedom to binding in both sensual and sensible contexts is concerned, with an enhanced sense of the distinction between a variety of terms that may previously have been used interchangeably or even as equivalents. Here, too, I can safely claim to have done more justice to the conflicting relationships between the individual and society than in previous texts, as well as developed a superior understanding as to the desirability of universal culture in the service of genuine religion for a world that needs to reject its factual and/or illusory shortcomings, if civilization is to attain to its omega point in the blessedness of sensible freedom and be truly at peace with itself. – 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 upon the death of her Aldershot-based husband had returned to Ireland with her daughter) 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-protective grandmother, 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 in Carshalton Beeches 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 as a clerical officer he eventually became responsible for booking ABRSM examination venues throughout Britain and Ireland. After a brief flirtation with further education at Redhill Technical College back in Surrey, where he had enrolled to take English and History A Levels, he returned to his former job in the West End but, due to a combination of factors, 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 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 numerous 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).
