Download or read book Literature and the Intercardinal Axial Compass written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2013-01-28 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A substantial collection of extensively revised and reformatted philosophical weblogs from different sites by the author, John O'Loughlin, who has brought a variety of his most recent articles together in one place and achieved something of a consistent body of philosophical thought which extends his ideological and ontological positions without seeming overladen or overburdened with rhetoric, although a certain philological verbosity inevitably persists. Nevertheless, this remains one of Mr O'Loughlin's most significant works.
Download or read book Limitless written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2022-04-16 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This autobiographical-cum-philosophical journal is intended to complement, if from a vastly more evolved standpoint, the author's fictitious journal 'Limits' (1976), which tended to focus on physical and domestic limits. In 'Limitless', by contrast, there are seemingly few if any such limits, particularly where its philosophical and analytical elements are concerned, and it therefore takes John O'Loughlin's writings to a logical summit which may very well be a conclusion and kind of eschatological apotheosis. For it is doubtful whether he has written anything better.- A Centretruths Editorial
Download or read book AN INTERVIEW REVIEWED written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2022-02-27 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When an experienced magazine correspondent suddenly becomes ill before he can carry out his assignment, a young and comparatively inexperienced colleague is deputized to interview world-famous composer Howard Tonks in his stead, and things don't work out as planned for either of them! In fact, they go from bad to worse in ways which put not only the assignment, but the reputation of the magazine in serious jeopardy, threatening the livelihoods of both correspondents. Can a resolution to the dilemma in which the magazine subsequently finds itself be found, or will it be obliged to compensate the aggrieved party in some financially or socially compromising way? The answer lies within.
Download or read book Informal Maxims Maximum Informality written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2022-03-07 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INFORMAL MAXIMS & MAXIMUM INFORMALITY is another of those 'mirror-image' composite projects by John O'Loughlin which takes his wholly aphoristic approach to philosophy a stage or two further along the path of Truth than did its predecessor in the genre,'Maximum Truth & Truthful Maxims' (1993), adding to Social Transcendentalism the concept of Social Theocracy, and thus broadening out the messianic ideology of transcendentalism to include what was destined, in subsequent books, to become the ideological counterpart of Social Democracy and, in that sense, the political as opposed to religious face of the ideology in question.
Download or read book ALPHA AND OMEGA written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2022-02-25 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ALPHA AND OMEGA - Diabolic Beginning and Divine End ... is divided into four parts, each of which investigates a variety of subjects, having either alpha or omega connotations, from a Social Transcendentalist standpoint with a view to advancing this ideological philosophy through several spiralling cycles towards enhanced metaphysical knowledge, which is truth.
Download or read book A Visit to Hell written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2022-03-05 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight substantial short stories from the author of 'Cross-Purposes' and 'An Interview Reviewed', which investigate dualism and transcendentalism from a variety of conflicting standpoints. The title piece is much the longest and probably the most outstanding piece in the collection, which has to be read to be believed! Not for the fainthearted.
Download or read book Dosshouse Blues written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2022-03-21 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mixed bag of lyrical poems, rhymed poetry, free verse, prose poems, and aphoristic lines which were amongst the first things John O'Loughlin ever wrote, back in the early '70s, this volume of poetry seems to intimate of both his fictional and, more interestingly, philosophical destiny to come, while still remaining refreshingly poetic, if with a jaded sense of humour. We especially recommend the title piece as an example of what is meant!
Download or read book Between Truth and Illusion written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr O'Loughlin's first exercise in philosophy, dating from 1977, takes as its starting-point an analysis of the inter-relativity of dualities and expands, via a series of aphoristic essays and dramatic lessons, towards a dialogue climax in which the two - inevitably! - characters discuss the implications of a dualistic philosophy both as it impacts on theory and practice. Although the author didn't realize it at the time, truth and illusion are a lot closer together than may at first appear to be the case, even if one doesn't necessarily have to get between them!
Download or read book CROSS PURPOSES written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2022-03-15 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A philosophic-cum-romantic novel in which a young writer becomes involved with the wife of an influential publisher and ends-up paying the price, as does a certain philosopher friend of his, whose double-dealing in connection with a mutual girlfriend proves more difficult to manage than he had at first suspected, putting him at cross-purposes with them both, to their mutual disadvantage!
Download or read book Abstracts written by Author John O'Loughlin and published by John O'Loughlin. This book was released on 2022-02-26 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr O'Loughlin's one and only volume of abstract poems can be read (in the main) like an ordinary or mainstream volume of free verse, except that the verse is somewhat freer - and possibly lighter - than would normally qualify for poetry of that ilk. Nevertheless we believe it stops well short of being 'word art', even if some people might regard it as degenerate verse and therefore subversive of poetry, as normally understood by that term.
Download or read book Reservations in Orange and Green written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2022-05-06 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transcribed from 3 orange and 2 green notebooks, this project is loosely journalistic and even autobiographical, but remains mostly philosophic in its use of both essays and aphorisms orientated towards an analysis of the relationships between Western civilization and both ancient and contemporary forms of cyclic societies whose origins are perceived, more or less logically, as having different causes, both independently of (ancient) and in relation to (contemporary) Western civilization and the way it has been described from its Greco-Roman origins up to the America-dominated global present. But the theme of reservations remains key to the project as a whole, and this is tackled from a multiplicity of angles, both subjectively and in terms of types of reservations to be found in life generally. Finally, the author pulls no punches in his interpretation of Western decadence and what it stemmed from and was in polarity to, regarding it as the underlying catalyst for what subsequently transpired.
Download or read book The Dialectics of Gender and Class written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2022-05-19 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE DIALECTICS OF GENDER AND CLASS concludes a trilogy of aphoristic books by John O'Loughlin whose focus is primarily dialectical, and does so on no uncertain axial terms, not least with regards to the elemental correlation with gender and class which comes to light when once one begins to approach dialectics from a gender- and class-oriented standpoint with a view to understanding the co-existence of each on overall axial terms. Historic stuff! And no bluff!
Download or read book The Transcendental Future written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2022-06-09 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A volume of philosophical dialogues dating from 1980 and having a transcendentalist dimension which embraces evolution from a religious standpoint.
Download or read book Valuations of a Social Transcendentalist written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2022-06-16 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: VALUATIONS OF A SOCIAL TRANSCENDENTALIST is the sequel to 'Alpha and Omega - Diabolic Beginning and Divine End' (2002) and, like that worthy e-book, it has been divided into several parts, viz. 'Revaluations', 'Valuations', and 'Transvaluations', which further advance the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism in relation to the respective parts and their numerical spiralling through several cycles, as before. As regards the various modes of 'valuating', the only omission on my part is in regard to devaluating, which I, as a pro-godly individual, preferred not to categorically embrace, since it is manifestly diabolic.
Download or read book Jesus A Summing Up written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2007-07-09 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus - A Summing Up, as it has been titled, somewhat with Arthur Koestler's 'Janus - A Summing Up' in mind, pretty much brings the formal 'oeuvre' stage of John O'Loughlin's philosophizing, which began back in 1977 and has resulted in over ninety works of a philosophical nature, not to mention some thirty-odd works in other genres, to a satisfactory conclusion, and therefore it 'sums up' much of what has gone before and even adds some new material, much to the author's surprise, here and there - something presaging the next stage of things in the blogging with philosophical intent that was to come!
Download or read book RADICAL PROGRESS written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2022-05-06 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RADICAL PROGRESS - The Only Way Forward ... is confident of its direction and of the terms by means of which such progress can and should be effected, as it analyzes axial relativity from the standpoint of the transcendent, drawing relevant conclusions.
Download or read book STAIRWAY TO JUDGEMENT written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2022-05-11 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subtitled 'The Way to the Eternal Life of Social Theocratic Truth', STAIRWAY TO JUDGEMENT extends beyond 'Radical Progress' (2003) in its comprehensively exacting approach to axial relativity and the differences which characterize each approach to civilization, and shows just how careful one must be in defining what appertains to 'the world' and/or 'the people', if one isn't to fall between two stools or, in this case, axes, to the detriment of truth.
