John O Loughlin: 171 books

A substantial collection of extensively revised and reformatted philosophical weblogs from different sites by John O'Loughlin, who has brought a variety of his most recent articles together in one place and achieved something of a consistent body of philosophical thought which extends his ideological...

If John O'Loughlin is 'In Disguise' here it's because these days he does not see himself primarily as a poet but, rather, as a philosopher, if a self-taught one, who once wrote poems, many of which were of a philosophical order and thus an alternative or formative approach to his philosophy-proper....

'Celestial City and Anti-Vanity Fair', with its John Bunyan-like connotations, brings what John O'Loughlin had been building towards in previous books, like 'Yang and Anti-Yin' and 'Lamb and Anti-Lion', to its logical conclusion, underlining the gender distinctions that exist at all points of what he...

'Fixed Limits' is an autobiographical novel of first-person tendency documenting several weeks in the life of a budding writer (Michael Savage, whom we first encounter in the novel 'Changing Worlds') as he confronts the challenges of working alone for the first time and grappling with the problem, in...

'The Promise of Kingdom Come' extends the cyclical style (metaphysical) of John O'Loughlin's aphoristic philosophizing beyond where it leaves off with 'The Totality of Nature' (2000), investigating the dichotomy between sensuality and sensibility from a gender-specific standpoint in relation to his usual...

Even by John O'Loughlin's unique structurally-exacting philosophical standards this is an exceptionally-demanding work, the logical comprehensiveness of which actually surpasses, on a more radical basis, the best of what has already been achieved in the previous title, 'Stations of the Supercross',...

Despite the seeming simplicity of its title, 'Trees' is anything but simple, since arguably the deepest and most politically radical of John O'Loughlin's collections of poetry, extending beyond as well as summing up earlier themes with an ideological conviction that points towards a whole new approach to culture and, hence, civilization.

John O'Loughlin's so-called 'Book of Beliefs', cryptically subtitled 'The Omegala', is a record of where his head was at in 1996 or thereabouts, and is therefore anything but a definitive account of his intellectual progress towards a kind of consummate metaphysical truth. Nevertheless, it's still pretty...

A roller-coaster ride through a poetico-philosophic landscape tinged by otherworldly yearnings and fancies that are more often grounded in some degree of logic and taken to new heights of ideological insight that defy mere wilful pragmatism in their interpretation of life from an standpoint both otherworldly...

'Future Transformations' combines essays with dialogues, both of which are transcended by aphorisms in the lengthy appendix of what, for a work dating from 1982, remains one of John O'Loughlin's most revolutionary projects, in that it addresses future transformations of humanity in relation to the post-human...

John O'Loughlin's only collection of prose poems originally dating from 1984-5 and partly inspiried by Baudelaire's utilization of this genre, 'Evolution', continues, in slightly more expansive vein, to focus much of its attention on the social transcendentalist theories first introduced into his poetry...

'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...

A revised and reformatted weblog project by John O'Loughlin dating from 2011 and comprised of material of both an autobiographical and a philosophical tendency that is no less - and in some cases - even more subjective and philosophical than his previous texts of this nature. Essential reading.

An aphoristic philosophy project which becomes more intensely philosophic - and quasi-musical - as it progresses through some eight parts, gradually homing-in on the focus of the title, which is an investigation of the subatomic components of each of the elements and pseudo-elements described in the...
