John O'Loughlin

Opis

Like its two textural predecessors, 'Yang and Anti-Yin' (2004-5) and 'Lamb and Anti-Lion' (2005), this book of aphoristic philosophy takes what John O'Loughlin had previously been building towards to its ultimate logical conclusion and establishes, categorically and without equivocation, a definitive presentation of his work such that reaffirms the gender distinctions which exist at all points of what he is rather metaphorically wont to call our 'axial compass', underlining the importance of taking such distinctions to their logical conclusions in the interests of philosophical certitude and, concerning what he calls 'noumenal sensibility', enhanced credibility in respect of godly truth. For anything short of this logical distinction between the various gender positions, not least in relation to metaphysics and antimetachemistry, will betray Truth and, so he contends, render it difficult if not impossible to realize. We trust others will agree with him, when they come to read this fascinating book, that it is the crowning achievement of his philosophy thus far, and the product of one who is in no doubt as to what Truth is and of just how difficult it will be, even with the best of ideological wills, to grant it its proper place in the edifice of religious progress and, what's more, to keep it there at the expense of everything else, including that which appertains, in one way or another, to beauty, as to the Beautiful. Difficult, yes, but not impossible For this is the summation of reason, which is mind utilized in the interests of a 'beingfulness' so supreme as to be heavenly and nothing short of the resolution of philosophical intent and confirmation of a godly resolve.
