THE COLLECTED ESSAYS (1979-84) OF JOHN O’LOUGHLIN

Hyperlinks to the files of which follow the brief introduction below:-

This collection of essays is taken from a variety of projects, including (besides essays) volumes composed of dialogues, aphorisms and/or maxims which I wrote between 1979 and 1984, and is representative of a comparatively early phase of my philosophical development, when my struggle towards truth was still in the shadow, as it were, of knowledge and hence of a massive if not voluminous presentation.  The subject-matter ranges widely between mostly cultural, social, and political subjects, but gradually narrows down towards a specific ideological stance which I have equated with Social Transcendentalism and thus with a kind of ultimate politico-religious orientation which is less concerned with man than with his hypothetical future transmutation towards what has been called the post-Human Millennium, a period in time or, rather, eternity when man is superseded and effectively transcended by that which stands closer to the godly if not, in a profounder sense, to God per se and therefore to a higher and more radical order of godliness than anything that has obtained before.  Such, in a nutshell, is the drift of this chronological collection of essays, which set me on the road towards my post-essayistic writings and to the eventual aphoristic apotheosis of my development as a writer of philosophical-cum-theosophical works. - John O'Loughlin.
