Celestial City and Anti-Vanity Fair

''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 calls the intercardinal axial compass, so that a more comprehensively-exacting approach to terminology is possible and categorically upheld as a logical necessity. Hence the metaphysical and anti-metachemical implications of the title are reflected on a parallel terminological basis which it becomes a philosophical principle and moral duty to systematically embrace, if one is to avoid either fudging the gender issue or oversimplifying it from the standpoint of one''s own gender – a not-uncommon practice within the male-dominated context of most traditional philosophy in the West!
