The British Monarchy and Ireland: 1800 to the Present
ISBN: 9780521843720 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A broad-ranging political and social history of the relationship of the British monarchy with Ireland from 1800 to the present. James Loughlin demonstrates how this relationship was shaped by the personalities of individual monarchs and by government policies in Ireland, especially during the nineteenth century when the state sought to quell Irish demands for independence. The study takes account not only of nationalist Ireland, but also of Ulster loyalism; the function of royal ritual and spectacle in engaging Irish popular opinion; and assesses royal allegiance within both the context of...

From the Devil to God
ISBN: 9781500120863 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Written on and off during the winter of 1980-81, this collection of short prose starts in a relatively literary fashion, with the account of a clandestine visit of a masseuse to a priest who can no longer cope with his celibacy, and ends in a profoundly futuristic manner with an account of evolutionary progress towards a definitive Beyond, as envisaged by a radical philosopher. In between, there comes a fairly balanced alternation between prosodic and philosophic subjects ... as we follow the voyeuristic pleasures of a man covertly watching his wife getting dressed from the comfort of his...

Dream Compromise
ISBN: 9781500165611 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This collection of short prose, originally dating from the autumn of 1981, includes what is arguably the most literary piece John O'Loughlin has ever written - namely 'A Canine Crime', which deals with the problems of dog ownership in an age and society which has turned against such a thing, making it illegal. Also featured here is 'Nolan's Investigations', which opens the collection on a playfully erotic note, and the partly autobiographical title-piece 'Dream Compromise', which has a trick in its tail, so to speak.... As, incidentally, does the volume as a whole, in that it ends with a...

Millennial Projections
ISBN: 9781500219062 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This substantial literary project, dating from 1982, is comprised of some sixteen short-prose pieces with subjects ranging from musical evolution to Christmas trees, Black Holes to Esperanto, and space travel to modern art. Of this number, the author's most outstanding work is undoubtedly the title piece, a fantasy projection into a millennial future in which we enter the mind of a 'superman' who is preparing to undergo an 'acid trip', view life in what is called the 'post-human millennium' from a spiritual leader's standpoint as he grapples with his counselling responsibilities vis-a-vis the...

From the Beginning: Early Poetry & Prose
ISBN: 9781500139926 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) John O'Loughlin's first real collection of poems, written on and off during 1973-75, reflects the lyricism and formal simplicity of youth, showing the influence of poets like Rimbaud, Ezra Pound, Adrian Henri, and Doors lead singer Jim Morrison on his formative years as a writer of, at least initially, poetic tendency, which began pleasantly enough in Merstham, Surrey, before progressing first to Finsbury Park and then to Crouch End in north London, where he got the inspiration for the poem 'Dosshouse Blues', which should intrigue those who have personal experience of solitary life in cheap...

Between Truth and Illusion: A Dualistic Philosophy
ISBN: 9781499743999 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This title signifies an attempt by John James O'Loughlin to return to basics in philosophy and understand the connections and indeed interrelations of antitheses, polarities, opposites, and other such neat philosophical categories in relation to the relativity of everyday life. It is not an express attempt to expound 'the Truth' but, rather, a modest undertaking on his part to comprehend the paradoxes of the world in which we happen to live, and seek to unveil some of the illusions and superstitions which make the pursuit of philosophical truth such a difficult not to say protracted task....

The Illusory Truth
ISBN: 9781499763010 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Divided into three parts, of which the first is by far the longest, this philosophical sequel to 'Between Truth and Illusion' (1977), expands on the dualistic theories therein outlined, abandoning the more literary approach of its predecessor for a paradoxically aphoristic bias in which the author began to develop an almost existentialist awareness of the extent to which many so-called truths are founded upon illusory concepts and, to that extent, are not really 'true' at all but convenient fictions masking the brute reality of natural facts.

A Question of Belief: Philosophical Dialogues
ISBN: 9781499777307 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) John O'Loughlin first got the idea of writing a collection of dialogues in 1978 after reading the French philosopher Diderot, one of the outstanding practitioners of the genre, and the results, several weeks later, were four fairly lengthy philosophical dialogues, which enabled him to continue developing the dualistic theories begun the previous year (1977) and included in both the mainly essayistic 'Between Truth and Illusion' (which contains his first ever philosophical dialogue) and the comparatively more aphoristic 'The Illusory Truth'. Their subject-matter ranges from book collecting as...

The Way of Evolution: Philosophical Essays
ISBN: 9781499799170 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Dating from 1981, this collection of essays is thematically more homogeneous than anything previously written by John O'Loughlin in the genre and reflects a newly-acquired optimistic outlook on evolutionary progress as something that should culminate in a future paradise having nothing whatsoever to do with the cosmic inception of life. Art, literature, music, sex, gender, history, technology and religion are the principal themes under consideration in this volume, and they're generally treated in relation to the author's philosophy of evolution, which owes not a little, in its origins, to...
