John O'Loughlin

Strictly Sequential (eBook, ePUB)

Produktbeschreibung

Here, at last, is the logical culmination - one might even say apotheosis - of John O'Loughlin's decades-long pursuit of philosophical perfection, and although one would be hard-pressed to find anything (outside his own works) remotely akin, much less logically superior, to it in the entire history of philosophy, one could not expect it to appeal to more than a tiny handful of people - a few of the 'Few' - given the structural complexities that his uniquely comprehensive approach to philosophical logic entails, even without the addition of concepts like space, time, volume, and mass or, for that matter, being, doing, giving, and taking (not to mention an explicit reference to moderate ecclesiastic and extreme secular permutations), that this thinker has omitted from what is arguably his greatest philosophical achievement, having already dealt with these and other such concepts in earlier works. Here, then, is the sequential antidote to Randomized, the author's previous title, and it must surely be, even without the aforementioned categories, the most comprehensive assessment of the atomic and pseudo-atomic dichotomies underlying class and gender ever undertaken by the human mind. - A Centretruths Editorial

Autorenporträt

John (James) O'Loughlin was born in Galway City, the Republic of Ireland, of mixed Irish and British parents in 1952. Following a parental split due to ethnic incompatibilities, he was brought to England by his mother and grandmother (who had initially returned to Ireland with intent to stay) in the mid-50s and subsequently attended schools in Aldershot, Hampshire and, following the death and repatriation of his grandmother, Carshalton Beeches, Surrey, where, despite an enforced change of denomination from Catholic to Protestant in consequence of having been put into care by his mother, he attended a state school. Upon leaving in 1970 with an assortment of CSEs (Certificate of Secondary Education) and GCEs (General Certificate of Education), including history and music, he moved up 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 WC1, where he eventually became responsible for booking examination venues. After a brief flirtation with Redhill Technical College back in Surrey, where he had enrolled to do English Literature and History, he returned to his former job in the West End but quit the ABRSM in 1976 due to a combination of factors, including ill-health, and began to dedicate himself to a literary career which, despite a brief spell as a computer tutor at Hornsey Management Agency (affiliated to Hornsey YMCA) in the late '80s and early '90s, he has continued with ever since. His novels include Changing Worlds (1976), Cross-Purposes (1979), Thwarted Ambitions (1980), Sublimated Relations (1981), and Deceptive Motives (1982). Since the mid-80s John O'Loughlin has dedicated himself exclusively to philosophy, his literary vocation, and has penned numerous titles of a philosophical nature, including Devil and God - The Omega Book (1985-6), Towards the Supernoumenon (1987), Elemental Spectra (1988-9), and Philosophical Truth (1991-2). John O'Loughlin lives alone in Haringey, north London., to which borough he moved from Merstham, Surrey, in 1974.
