'Dawn of the Life' is a composite of two projects, viz. the dialogues of 'The Transcendental Future' (1980) and the essays of 'The Way of Evolution' (1981) and therefore combines dialogues with essays in a largely philosophical text which has the additional benefit of both an introductory outline and an aphoristic appendix, as per custom for John O'Loughlin's works at this comparatively early stage of his development as a self-taught philosopher, or thinking man's literary writer. The 'dawn' in this instance is a new one, and the 'life' has more to do with eternity than with anything temporal, much less infinite or even finite. The cover shows a photo, taken by the author himself in 2010, of one of Ireland's so-called 'head shops' before their subsequent demise following government restrictions.
