Celestial City and Anti-Vanity Fair
ISBN: 9781508816164 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 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,...

The Radical Progress Quartet
ISBN: 9781523389094 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Following on from 'The Apocalypso Quartet' (2003), this 'quartet' of philosophical writings brings into one chronologically convenient volume the titles 'Radical Progress', 'Stairway to Judgement', 'A Perfect Resolution', and 'The Last Judgement', all of which are also independently available as free-standing titles in both e-book and paperback formats. Brought together, however, the continuity in John O'Loughlin's philosophical development at around this time becomes once again both more accessible and intelligible, enabling one to follow the evolution of his thought processes from book to...

The Free Testament Quartet
ISBN: 9781523659388 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The four books of aphoristic philosophy that constitute 'The Free Testament Quartet' date from 2003-4 and signify a further advance of John O'Loughlin's metaphysical philosophy beyond 'The Radical Progress Quartet' (2003). The first book, from which this quartet derives its name, was an attempt by the author to establish a testament, both personal and universal, that would be truly free, not, like the Christian New Testament, under the domination of the Judaic Old Testament within the Judeo-Christian tradition which, in Britain, is reflected in the King James Bible. This testament, although...

Two Sides of the Same Coin: Collected Short Prose Vol.1
ISBN: 9781518618963 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 478 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This compilation of short prose represents 'volume one' of a projected two-volume compilation which goes half-way towards a 'collected short prose' in that its contents derive from four different volumes dating from 1976-1981, and kind of fit together both stylistically and thematically, coming to an aphoristic head, which summarizes many of the subjects tackled, and in large part explains the author's choice of overall title, insofar as these aphorisms can be regarded as constituting the heads side of a 'coin' whose tails, as fiction to truth, can only be short prose. Although the first two...

The End of Evolution
ISBN: 9781503349988 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This title, whose 'end' is meant to signify 'goal', brings John O'Loughlin's theorizing to a very absolutist head that refines upon the pluralistic consistency of what had preceded it, in earlier titles, in relation to what he calls 'the administrative aside to and triadic Beyond of Kingdom Come'. For the trend of globalization towards what could be called a unitive peak in a more genuine universality at the expense of both Western and Eastern traditions alike presages a transcendentalist resolution which cannot but be equally, if not more, absolutist, and thus beyond both...

The Promise of 'Kingdom Come'
ISBN: 9781502705426 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Similar in structure to 'The Totality of Nature' (2000), but originally more consciously tailored to the space limitations of audio CD transcription, 'The Promise of "Kingdom Come"' (the quotes are advisable in view of the political dubiousness of the term 'kingdom' in this democratic day and age) proceeds through nine cycles, with titles ranging from 'The Wisdom of Sensible Truth' to 'Saving and/or Damning from the World'. Not all of it, however, is profoundly philosophic, and some lighter material is certainly provided by 'Bottles, Cans, and Beakers', arguably one of the author's most...

Philosophical Ruminations & Theosophical Illuminations
ISBN: 9781511535465 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The slightly ironically titled 'Philosophical Ruminations', written intermittently between 2006-7, chews the philosophic cud in a variety of settings, some metaphysical, others not so metaphysical (as in the opening supernote), but does so with an essayistic flair that owes more to the blogging medium from which these supernotes were derived (the author's original site at 'blogger.com') than to any conscious intent on his part to be essayistic or discursive. Nonetheless, these supernotes - habitually defined by John O'Loughlin as aphoristic essays and/or essayistic aphorisms - are...

Devil and God: The Omega Book
ISBN: 9781500492151 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Originally intended to be John O'Loughlin's last and ultimate work, this project, dealing with distinctions between the Devil and God, embraces over 250 'supernotes', his definition of which is something between an essay and an aphorism, not generally as long as the former or as short as the latter. In fact, it is the indeterminacy of this genre which most characterizes 'Devil and God', since one can proceed straight from a two-line entry to one that is several pages in length. Also significant of his definition of supernotes is the fact that they are anything but scrappy or off-the-cuff, as...

Elemental Spectra
ISBN: 9781500559304 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Dating from 1988-9, this work investigates the significance of the four basic elements, viz. air, fire, water and earth, with regard to a variety of different disciplinary contexts, including science, politics, economics and religion, and then seeks to draw ideological and moral lessons from the apperceived correlations. Of additional significance in relation to the Elements are the relationships between being and doing, awareness and emotion, mind and brain, nature and artifice, individualism and collectivism. There is also, within 'Elemental Spectra', a critique of Arthur Koestler's...

Revolutionary Afterthoughts: Of a Bound Genius
ISBN: 9781507787328 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Dealing with essentially the same subject-matter as its precursor, 'Revelationary Afterthoughts' (2003), this further example of aphoristic philosophy by John O'Loughlin is even more exactingly insightful in its understanding of the differences between the 'eternal' freedoms that rule or lead and the temporal bindings that submit, in worldly fashion, to the alternative dispensations so antithetically ranged above them, whether in contemporary or traditional guise. Here there is no question but that the worldly division between what has been called 'the meek' and 'the just' is symptomatic of...

Omega Maxims & Maximum Omega
ISBN: 9781530447848 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Dating from 1996, 'Omega Maxims' is a further instalment of the aphoristic purism to which John O'Loughlin had last committed his pen with 'Occasional Maxims & Maximum Occasions' (1994-5), and constitutes, with over 1000 maxims, what he holds to be the best work of its kind prior to the companion volume 'Maximum Omega', which is probably his finest collection of maxims, doing more justice to Truth, or metaphysical knowledge, than virtually any of his previous works. In fact, here at last, with this collection of 575 maxims, is what could be called Mr O'Loughlin's 'magnum omega', bringing to...

A Magnanimous Offer: & Other Pieces
ISBN: 9781515104391 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 50 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This modest collection of John O'Loughlin's early literature is comprised of four one-act plays, two of which are straight dialogues, together with a couple of short stories which the author wrote at about the same time (1976), and which he believes to have a loosely poetic quality that deserve, for stylistic reasons, to be included with the plays, the title piece of which was intended to be a shamelessly facetious parody of Oscar Wilde, one of the authors he most admired as a youth.

Opus D'Oeuvre
ISBN: 9781502788047 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. With subjects that range from modern architecture and myth to the relationship of sensuality to sensibility in the evolution of media technology, this book is sufficiently variegated to be of general interest even if it didn't also contain material that expands on its predecessor, 'Magnus Dei' (2001) - as, for example, race - and is instantly recognizable in relation to the nature and development of the author's philosophy within an elemental structure that not only evaluates things or situations from a standpoint based in the four elements, but embraces a moral evaluation of them on both...

The Best of All Possible Worlds
ISBN: 9781511684132 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. John O'Loughlin wrote the greater part of this aphoristic philosophy project during the better part of a wet and windy week in Galway City, the Republic of Ireland, when his health, bad as it had been back in London, was at an all-time low and every page was an immense struggle with his physical condition. Not having systematically undertaken any such project for several years, he was a little unsure that he would be able to proceed with any confidence but, as things turned out, his old habits of scrawling in a notebook with a biro were soon resurrected, and he quickly found, in spite of poor...

The Myth of Equality
ISBN: 9781502877321 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Reworking much of the material contained in 'Private Observations' (2001), this further volume of aphoristic philosophy goes deeper into the distinction between gender-conditioned forms of culture and civilization, as well as develops a more comprehensive perspective on sin and grace on the one hand and crime and punishment on the other, specifically with regard to a distinction between nature and psyche in both sensuality and sensibility. Also of especial note here is the departure from previous ascriptions of will, spirit, ego and soul to each gender in favour of the modification of psyche...
