which follow the brief introduction below:-
This
collection of philosophical writings, dating from the winter of 1981-2, progresses through several lengthy dialogues, with subjects ranging from the importance of technology from a transcendental standpoint to an analysis of literary writers, the nature of philosophical
truth, a new definition of evolution, different types of decadence, the justification for pornographic erotica, and the
parallels between literary figures like Henry Miller and Malcolm
Muggeridge. Also featured, as per custom
for me at this period, is a sort of aphoristic appendix, which both subsumes
and expands on a variety of the subjects under discussion. In sum, The Importance of Technology to the Transcendental Future is a far from definitive but, nonetheless,
highly-engaging and sometimes mind-boggling debate on a variety of
controversial issues! – 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 The Centre of Truth (2009). John O’Loughlin
is a bachelor who lives alone in Hornsey, north London.
