This
substantial collection of essays, dialogues, aphorisms and maxims, dating from
1983-84, is largely the reverse, in formal terms, of The Will to Truth,
its philosophical precursor, inasmuch as its first part is essayistic and its
second part entirely composed of dialogues, thereby again bringing these two
modes of philosophical phenomenality � as opposed to
the noumenality, as it were, of the aphorisms and
maxims - into harmony or, at any rate, close juxtaposition.� Here, as before, the essays constitute the
main part, and they are once more conceived within the protective umbrella of a
uniform ideology - namely the Social Transcendentalism which John O�Loughlin had been building towards in previous works, but
which here comes to ideological fruition.�
Thus, whatever the subject, it is treated from a uniform ideological
standpoint, the standpoint of a socially transcendent outlook on life, and this
even when Mr O�Loughlin is not consciously aware of
the fact.� Such an outlook is beyond
humanism and all other worldly ideologies, whether of the left or of the right,
having to do with evolutionary striving towards a 'divine kingdom' which is, in
a special centre-oriented sense, centrist in character, that is, centripetal
and centred in psychic self.� Yet this
'divine kingdom' does not follow death, as we customarily understand it, but
presupposes the ordering of society according to certain idealistic principles
designed to free mankind from its atomic past and indeed from itself, since the
final outcome can only be supra-human in character.� Hence in each of these essays and dialogues,
not to mention the ensuing aphorisms and maxims, a Social Transcendentalist
concern with godly truth is what really matters, and it is this which leads us
towards the prospect of the heavenly millennium to-come.� Whether the subject happens to be art,
literature, sex, politics, psychology, drugs or whatever, the emphasis on Truth
from a specific ideological perspective is what lifts Social Transcendentalism
� Socialistic Means to a Transcendent End (to give its full title) beyond
the sterile realm of intellectual speculation towards the potent challenge of
universal freedom. - A Centretruths editorial.
