Here at last, compared with texts like Pathways to ‘the Kingdom’, is a more informal and even relaxed work, which enabled me to lay one or two old autobiographical ghosts to rest while still continuing to haunt the realm of philosophy in no uncertain metaphysical terms!  In fact, it may be that this 2001 project enabled me to lay one or two long-standing philosophical ghosts to rest as well, since I did not shy away from a fresh look at some old theories and was duly rewarded, I believe, by a new perspective on certain things which I had begun to take - foolishly or naively – too much for granted, even though my previous treatment of them had been anything but conventional!  I believe that courage is its own reward and that he who dares to venture where none has gone before deserves the beneficial consequences, whatever they may be.  All I can say is that in this text certain very complicated and even paradoxical philosophical and moral issues have been tackled afresh and solved, to the best of my ability, in a way and with a structural comprehensiveness which leaves very little room for dissent.  In that, I think I have achieved, with a work that went on to become more universal than personal, far more than I could possibly have hoped for at the beginning! – 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), Philosophical Truth (1991-2), and, more recently, The Centre of Truth (2009). John O’Loughlin is a bachelor who lives alone in Hornsey, north London.
