John Loughlin: 173 books

With some twenty-eight cycles of numbered aphorisms, 'Magnus Dei' is something of a magnus opus, even if still at quite some distance from the top rung of John O'Loughlin's ladder-like literary oeuvre, which he believes rises ever higher towards a summit of metaphysical truth. Nevertheless, with a number...

TRUTHFUL ILLUSIONS & ILLUSORY TRUTHS is effectively a combination of the essayistic material from two prior publications, viz. 'Between Truth and Illusion' and 'The Illusory Truth' (1977), and therefore signifies a kind of truncated or concise version of those books which has the merit of excluding their...

'Occasional Maxims & Maximum Occasions' resembles other reverse-title books like 'Informal Maxims & Maximum Informality' (1993) in its basic two-fold design, but differs from them in respect of the kind of thematic shift, resembling a mini-revolution, that takes place in the second book of this metaphysically...

A collection of revised and reformatted philosophical weblogs by John O'Loughlin, who has further extended his philosophy beyond material contained in 'Insane but not Mad', also dating from 2011.

This substantial collection of loosely aphoristic philosophy, which the author is apt to term 'supernotational', embraces the Christian dichotomy of Devil and God in such fashion that one is left in no doubt that the former is alpha and the latter omega and, hence, that God, or godliness, is the repudiation...

A book with twelve 'stations' in several sections that is both autobiographical and philosophical, with a keenly metaphysical approach to the thorny subject of 'truth', and an original 'take' on subatomic definitions which logically follows from John O'Loughlin's previous title 'Atoms and Pseudo-Atoms...

As suggested by the pun-like title, LAST WRITES, also and originally written with the 'W' between brackets, is both a bringing to a conclusion of certain previous theories by John O'Loughlin and a ceremonial conclusion to certain lifestyles which this book is intended to assist kill off in the interests...

Dating from 2002, TOTAL TRUTH is comprised of four evenly developed parts concerned with what has been loosely termed 'notes' on subjects as diverse as society, liberty, mind, and peace, together with their opposites, all of which are treated by the author from a Social Transcendentalist standpoint,...

An aphoristic philosophy project by John O'Loughlin deriving from a collection of weblogs which have since been extensively revised and reformatted for eBook publication in the interests of enhanced understanding through a more uniformly stylistic and chronological presentation, this title continues...

As with other titles by John O'Loughlin, this particular work tends to utilize both aphorisms discursively and maxims sequentially in a kind of compromise between contrasting approaches to his philosophical writing, the one more literary and the other more technical, with some material of an autobiographical...

'Revaluations and Transvaluations' has something of a Nietzschean ring to it, but is really quite distinct from anything he wrote, as it revaluates certain prior contentions of John O'Loughlin's philosophy in the light of new insights, and couples this to an extension of his habitual transvaluating of...

'From Satan to Saturn' has the distinction of being the first of John O'Loughlin's cyclical works of aphoristic philosophy (superphilosophy and/or theosophy); that is, a volume in which numbered aphorisms are recycled over and over as the text centripetally advances through several spirals in an ascending...

'Evaluations and Revaluations', which is divided into two parts, each of which reflects one aspect of the overall title, is a compilation of aphoristic writings with strongly metaphysical and subatomic overtones such that take the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism to a new level of analytical...

'The Free Testament' is one of those volumes of aphoristic philosophy by John O'Loughlin which tend towards a categorical comprehensiveness that leaves little or nothing either out of the equation (frame) or to chance, including an examination of certain numerological norms which here undergo a radical...
