'The Way of Evolution' combines nine substantial essays with an aphoristic appendix as it strives to delineate evolutionary trends and to uphold the desirability of transcendental artificiality in the face of naturalistic tradition. Subjects range from gender and class to literature and music, as...

As the sequel to 'Between Truth and Illusion' (1977), this volume of aphoristic essays and essayistic aphorisms and/or maxims carries on the dualistic theories from where BTAI left off, but does so with greater intellectual freedom and stylistic abandon, creating a substantial essayistic platform...

Transcribed from 3 orange and 2 green notebooks, this project is loosely journalistic and even autobiographical, but remains mostly philosophic in its use of both essays and aphorisms orientated towards an analysis of the relationships between Western civilization and both ancient and contemporary forms...

As suggested by the title, this aphoristic philosophy project continues to explore the axial differences between what, in general terms, has been called the bureaucratic/theocratic axis of a rising diagonal and, by contrast, the autocratic/democratic axis of a falling one, drawing irrefutable conclusions from the contrasts so examined that point towards two entirely different destinies.

'Ethnic Universality - The Next Totalitarianism' ... is about the promise of globalization and the universal oneness that it portends if taken to a sensible conclusion. In that respect, it is the antithesis of anything cosmic and, in particular, stellar, with an abstract as opposed to concrete basis that is necessarily centred in psyche.

'The Dialectics of Civilization' continues the dialectical analysis of civilization and, in a broader sense, of the evolutionary process from where it left off in 'The Dialectics of Synthetic Attraction', the author's previous book, and achieves not only enhanced certitude from a greater comprehensiveness...

This project came about as a result of disillusionment with the ephemeral or redundant nature of much autobiographical writing, which can be alarmingly quick to date, and consequently instead of one timescale for composition there are four different timescales, viz. 1983,'85, '93, and '96, corresponding...

An aphoristic philosophy project which includes some short prose and the occasional poetic treatment of aphorisms, as well as being autobiographical and journalistic, in keeping with the author's customary eclectic approach to text.

A volume of philosophical dialogues dating from 1980 and having a transcendentalist dimension which embraces evolution from a religious standpoint, as well as factoring-in correlative kinds of art and literature, including examples by Salvador Dali.

'Post-Atomic Perspectives' combines essays, dialogues, aphorisms (conceived as lying somewhere in-between essays and maxims) with maxims in a 'multi-genre' format of original philosophy with a transcendental bias, and does so on a basis which affirms a certain post-atomic and post-human(ist) perspective...

'The Core of the Self' logically follows 'The Soul of Being' (1998) as a major philosophical text in which the various aphoristic cycles spiral towards a new summit identified, in this case, with the core of the self conceived in intensely metaphysical terms. The writing of this author of course goes...

This is the author's only literary 'sextet', a six-book aphoristic philosophy project ironically entitled THE FATHER OMEGA SEXTET, the individual books of which are 'Father Omega's Last Testament', 'Revaluations and Transvaluations', 'The Classless Solution', 'The Dialectics of Synthetic Attraction',...

As implied by the 'T' of the title, this book utilizes a number of T-shaped diagrammatic structures to illustrate a framework which derives from the basic Elements and continues to necessitate recourse to an approach to philosophy which is anything but trinitarian or tripartite in character, but wholly...

This voluminous project is comprised of two substantial books of maxims respectively entitled 'Maximum Truth' and 'Truthful Maxims', both of which, dating from 1993, extend the philosophy of Social Transcendentalism into new realms of metaphysical insight, including a more comprehensive subatomic theory...
