This volume of philosophy, combining maxims with essays and dialogues, goes way beyond the scope of my earlier philosophical works in outlining what I contend to be the logical stages of evolution beyond man which will have to be passed through before definitive salvation can be achieved in a transcendent goal of evolution ... analogous to Teilhard de Chardin's ‘Omega Point’ or even to Bunyan’s ‘Celestial City’.  One could say that I have attempted to concretize Nietzschean notions concerning man's ‘overcoming’ ... in respect of specific post-human stages of ensuing life.  Hitherto, when I wrote about more advanced stages of life, it was generally within the scope and definition of man.  Here, by contrast, the attainment to a more artificial stage of evolution is, ipso facto, chronologically beyond man and thus implicitly post-human, if not supra-human.  Such was the revolutionary break with my earlier Huxley-inspired way of thinking which occurred in the Spring of 1982, and it is, I believe, of momentous significance!  Henceforth my philosophical task was largely to be a refinement upon and modification of contentions outlined here.  Obviously, in the many years that have passed since then, several changes, some of which were quite drastic, have occurred in my overall evolutionary perspective.  But the beginnings of my mature philosophical oeuvre are to be found here, in Future Transformations, and it was from this time onwards that I began to grow in what I like to think of as a sort of messianic self-awareness. – John O’Loughlin.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

 

John James O’Loughlin was born in Salthill, Galway, the Republic of Ireland, of mixed Irish- and British-born parents in 1952. Following a parental split due to ethnic and other incompatibilities (they called her 'Mary Aldershot'), he was brought to England by his mother and grandmother (who had initially returned to Ireland with intent to stay following the death of her British-based husband) in the mid-50s and subsequently attended schools in Aldershot, Oakham, 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. Graduating in 1970 with an assortment of CSE’s (Certificate of Secondary Education) and GCE’s (General Certificate of Education), including history and music, he moved the comparatively short distance up to London and went on, via two short-lived jobs, to work at the Royal Schools of Music in Bedford Square, where he eventually became responsible for booking examination venues. After a brief flirtation with Redhill Technical College back in Surrey, he returned to his former job in the West End but retired from the ABRSM in 1976 due to a combination of factors, including ill-health, and proceeded to dedicate himself to a literary vocation which, despite a brief spell as a computer tutor at Hornsey YMCA in the late '80s and early '90s, he has effectively continued with ever since. His novels include Changing Worlds (1976), Cross-Purposes (1979), Thwarted Ambitions (1980), Sublimated Relations (1981), and Deceptive Motives (1982). From the mid-80s Mr O'Loughlin dedicated himself exclusively to philosophy, his true literary vocation, and has penned more than sixty 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 is a bachelor who lives alone in Hornsey, north London.
