Welcome to the REVISED AND REFORMATTED PHILOSOPHICAL WEBLOGS of
THE CENTRE OF TRUTH
by John O’Loughlin of Centretruths Digital Media
Whose e-scroll can be
accessed via the link below the ensuing brief introduction:-
All the items – call them essayistic aphorisms
– in this collection of revised and reformatted weblogs were originally hosted
at 'Anoox.com' in blog format under the alias 'yaholin', and succeed my other collections of weblogs both in
date of composition (2009) and theoretical development, so that they might be
regarded as the most advanced and conclusive project of its kind. In some instances, a fair amount of revision,
including the incorporation of some additional material, has taken place, and I
am confident that this collection will bear out the claim to be revised and
reformatted to an extent that warrants serious consideration as a 'book' in
itself, complete with a logically consistent structure and thematic bias that
is nothing less than consummately metaphysical, or at any rate centred,
truthfully, in the advancement of metaphysics at the expense of what is
either contrary to or beneath metaphysics.
It that respect, this is as definitive a statement of truth as one is
likely to get from me, and I am confident that the title The Centre of Truth will resolve my long struggle, over several
decades, to advance the cause of truth in relation to the centre through a
succession of ‘centretruths’, about which I have written below (see ‘Concerning
Centretruths’ in the title link). - John O'Loughlin.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John 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 and, following the death and repatriation of his Irish-born 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 Associated Board of 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),
An Interview Reviewed (1979), Secret Exchanges (1980), Sublimated Relations
(1981), and Deceptive Motives (1981). From the mid-80s Mr O'Loughlin has exclusively dedicated himself to philosophy, his
true literary vocation, and penned more than sixty titles of a
philosophical nature, including Devil and God (1985-6), Towards
the Supernoumenon (1987), Elemental Spectra (1988-9),
Philosophical Truth (1991-2) and, more recently, The Best of All Possible Worlds (2008) and Bold and Eclectic (2010). John O’Loughlin
is a bachelor who lives alone in Hornsey, north London.
