No sooner had
I completed the ambitious Terminological Dictionary of Social Transcendentalism (1998) than a seismic shift occurred in my thinking not
only with regard to the subject of morality, about which I had theorized on a
somewhat different basis in the past, but also, and more importantly, with
regard to such concepts as 'superman', 'supermasculine', 'supernatural', and so
on, which, in long-standing deference to Nietzsche, I had previously taken too
much for granted. Now, with a deeper
concept of nature, I was in a position to revaluate such terms and effectively
displace them from what had been a metaphysical perch, setting up a new
valuation for that which sensibly appertains to the divine. The result, not surprisingly, may come as a
shock to those who had supposed me too set in a Nietzschean mould. – 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 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. 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 for booking examination venues throughout Britain and Ireland.
After a brief flirtation with history-orientated 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 several 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).
