This volume of
philosophy, combining aphorisms with essays and dialogues, goes way beyond the
scope of John O’Loughlin’s earlier philosophical works in outlining what he
contends to be the logical stages of evolution beyond man which 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, for
that matter, to Bunyan’s ‘Celestial City’.
One could say that he has attempted to concretize Nietzschean notions
concerning man's ‘overcoming’ ... in respect of a projection of specific
post-human stages of ensuing life.
Hitherto, when he 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 his earlier Huxley-inspired way of
thinking which occurred in the Spring of 1982, and it is, we believe, of momentous
significance! Henceforth Mr O’Loughlin’s
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 them quite
drastic, have occurred in his overall evolutionary perspective. But the beginnings of his mature
philosophical oeuvre are to be found here, in Future
Transformations, and it was from this time onwards that he began to grow in
what he likes to think of as a sort of messianic self-awareness, commensurate
with a solitary destiny. - A Centretruths editorial.
