Carrying on from
where From Materialism to Idealism (1986) leaves off, this volume of
supernotes, or loosely aphoristic material, is more intensely philosophical
than its predecessor, as it introduces to the fourfold structures already
established the concept of devolutionary/evolutionary antitheses into
historical development, coupling this to an investigation of certain key
historico-ontological philosophers, including Schopenhauer, and contrasting his
noumenal-phenomenal approach to philosophy with what I have called a
superphenomenal-supernoumenal one intended to illustrate the distinction
between 'artificial' modernity and 'naturalistic' antiquity, the former of
which bears witness to what Nietzsche would have called a ‘transvaluation of
values’ to the extent that it would seem to be more omega-orientated than
alpha-stemming. In this respect, it
could be said to reflect a contrast between philosophy, as traditionally
practised by alpha-stemming thinkers like Schopenhauer, and a radical concept
of theosophy, in which an evolutionary drive towards the omega of things is
discernible, as was the case, to a certain extent, with the aforementioned ‘transvaluator
of all values.’ – 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.
