This title takes the form of a mixture of aphorisms and maxims, or brief discursive observations on a variety of subjects of interest or concern to the author, coupled to numbered sequences of systematically-structured conclusions about salient aspects of the overall philosophy which succeed those parts (one and three) specifically given to the aphoristic material, as though to sum-up or clarify, on a more philosophically intensive basis, what had been more discursively observed. Of course, there is more to it than that, and the author would be lying if he didn''t also add that this title both refines upon and extends beyond previous works, thereby in a sense bringing this phase of his philosophy to a kind of ideological peak, beyond which he has no intention of going, since little or no progress could be made short of his adopting the philosophical equivalent of wings and flying off into space. That said, the implications of the title soon become clear, whether or not one agrees with its conclusions.

With this anthology of what he calls his ''sequentially structured maxims'', John O''Loughlin has finally arrived at the ne plus ultra of his recent philosophical oeuvre, which combines all the most logically consistent material from the last twelve original titles (2014 – 2019) in one definitive volume that, on account of the comprehensively exacting nature of his quadripartite structures and the way their theorizing evolves, must rank as the ''bible'' of his philosophy, if not of all philosophy of a metaphysical persuasion, that yet allows for the other categorical persuasions, both atomic and pseudo-atomic, to be accounted for in such fashion that everything is, as it were, nailed into place, the better to support the overall morphology of this publication''s unrelenting logic.

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'', largely with the benefit of a number of theoretical modifications which have been brought to bear on the overall fourfold frameworks which, as before, encompass both atoms and pseudo-atoms in any given pairing, or ''complementarity'', to use the author''s preferred term, which may be presumed to exist in axial polarity with either a noumenal or a phenomenal, an ethereal or a corporeal, counterpart within both church-hegemonic and state-hegemonic parameters.

This dictionary is the very first to cover the whole span of geopolitics from 1870 to the present. The editor and the contributors, noted specialists, clarify what lies behind the theories and the widespread use and misuse of geopolitical doctrines. The 219 entries are fairly lengthy essays about the major schools, doctrines, strategies, people, controversies, and policies of geopolitics in the main countries practicing geopolitics. These experts provide a complete picture of how geographic thinking has influenced statecraft and world politics. The entries are cross-referenced and accompanied by over 660 bibliographical citations. Academic and professional geographers and political scientists will find this volume invaluable.

This comprehensive volume observes how, after 25 years of transition and uncertainty in the countries that constituted the former Soviet Union, their political geographies remain in a state of flux. The authors explore the fluid relationship between Russia, by far the dominant economic and military power in the region, and the other former republics. They also examine new developments towards economic blocs, such as membership in the European Union or the competing Eurasian Economic Union, as well as new security arrangements in the form of military cooperation and alliance structures.This book reflects the broad range of changes across this important world region by engaging in insightful analysis of current developments in Central Asia, Ukraine, Russia, the Caucasus, and separatist regions. The authors explore new state alliances and the evolving cultural and geopolitical orientations of former Soviet citizens. Some chapters also examine the dynamics of wars that have occurred in the post-Soviet space, as well as how local political developments are reflected in electoral preferences and struggles over control of public spaces.The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal Eurasian Geography and Economics.

This title, dating from 2013 and revised 2021, is divisible into 24 sections all but one of which – the last – is of a largely aphoristic character suitable to the continuation of the author''s philosophy into new realms of metaphysical speculation and, indeed, logic, with one or two modifications of earlier theories supplementing what is largely original new material, including, for the sake of variety, some poetic fancies and not a little autobiography of both a personal and circumstantial nature. The exception alluded to above has less to do with this, however, than with a short story that rounds off the project, and does so with reference to the title chosen for the work as a whole – one particularly relevant to what is a story based in fact that happened several decades ago while John O''Loughlin was still a boy.

Although structurally similar to its predecessor, this work enlarges on the scope and content of ''Revolutions & Revelations of an Ideological Philosopher'' (1997), as we are made aware of the extent to which Social Transcendentalism is both ideological and philosophical, that is to say, practical and theoretical, political and religious or, better, politico-religious, serving not merely as a vehicle for Truth, or metaphysical knowledge, but also – and no less significantly – as a potential catalyst for radical social change of the sort that would usher in a new age of religious enlightenment.

A roller-coaster ride through a poetico-philosophic landscape tinged by otherworldly yearnings and fancies which 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 and metaphysical. In this excellent title by John O''Loughlin, the poetic fancies are given philosophical wings to fly towards heaven-knows what Beyond.

An autobiographical and philosophical journal that is the sequel to ''Limitless'' (2012) and, if we may be so bold as to say, one of the best books John O''Loughlin has ever written, full of wit, logical insights, trenchant criticism, literate references, and spine-tingling confessions that one might perhaps be reluctant to believe, never mind confess to oneself!

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 of cyclic societies whose origins are perceived, more or less logically, as having different causes, both independently of (ancient) and in relation to (contemporary) Western civilization and the way it has been described from its Greco-Roman origins up to the America-dominated global present. But the theme of reservations remains key to the project as a whole, and this is tackled from a multiplicity of angles, both subjectively and in terms of types of reservations to be found in life generally. Finally, the author pulls no punches in his interpretation of Western decadence and what it stemmed from and was in polarity to, regarding it as the underlying catalyst for what subsequently transpired.

This title, which is the reverse of ''Michael Savage'', dating from 1976, also combines two chronologically-related books, viz. ''Limitless'' and ''Reluctance'', both of which are stylistically journalistic, combining autobiographical passages with an intensively philosophical integrity overall, as anyone familiar with its respective independently-published books would doubtless attest. The advantage of having the two titles published in this dual-book format, however, is not only sequential but also, in relation to the combined cost of each of the individually-published titles, financial.

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 text together with their correlative and axial relationships in the overall structure of each axis upon what John O''Loughlin customarily describes as the inter-cardinal axial compass. This title effectively brings the author''s philosophical quest to a highly and deeply metaphysical resolution, while still providing a fair degree of literary discursiveness coupled to autobiographical material along the at times thorny way.

This title is intended for those exceptional individuals who are driven by intellectual curiosity rather than simply in response to commercial or academic pressures to read what the publishing establishment want them to buy; for here, hot on the heels of 'Ontological Permutations' (2025), is another definitive philosophy eBook for them to mull over. As regards the text, we shall let it speak for itself, since no brief introduction would go anywhere near doing proper justice to what is arguably beyond anything previously published by this author in the sheer scale and scope of its comprehensive logic, a fitting climax to a long and distinguished self-taught philosophical adventure, rendered all the more admirable in that it has proceeded without the slightest outside encouragement or endorsement. - A Centretruths Editorial

An intensely metaphysical work of aphoristic philosophy with a fresh take on atoms and what the author has called ''pseudo-atoms''in relation to axial polarity coupled to gender and class differentiation. This title marks a radical step beyond his previous thoughts on the subject, albeit one which derives from prior material and has been able to build upon it to a groundbreaking extent. Brings a whole new dimension to the concept ''subatomic''.

This ''exercise in sturctural logic'', as the subtitle to ''Thinking in Fours'' would have it, is based upon the addenda (unhyphenated and hyphenated) of the author''s previous title, The ''Living God'' Lie, which in this project have been both stylistically and thematically modifed to incorporate additional material of a subatomically dichotomous nature which, with a number of other modifications designed to establish a chronological relationship between the main parts of the book, bears little resemblance to its precursor, but overhauls it to such extent as to constitute an independent free-standing work intended, primarily, for the philosophical purist, or for those who prefer a systematic approach to loosely aphoristic structures that, here to a greater extent than in any previous of the author''s works, bring his philosophy to its logical conclusion – a conclusion which is both a revelation and a consummation of his decades-long pursuit of philosophical perfection through the exploration of logic.

''Deistic Deliverance'' (effectively via the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism) is yet another of John O''Loughlin''s volumes of cyclically-aphoristic philosophy (theosophy and/or superphilosophy) in which, with the aid of spiralling cycles, he has striven to grant a certain political definition to the philosophy in question, making it more than just a theory of life, but a vehicle whereby life can be changed for the better and people become liberated from their mortal chains and, no less importantly, from those who would avail of them for ''ungodly'' purposes. The cover shows a Social Transcendentalist emblem conceived and designed by the author himself.

''Omeganotes of an Ideological Philosopher'' takes the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism to an altogether new, higher level of politico-religious insight and resolve, since it''s not only a theory of life but a blueprint by means of which such a theory can be practically realized and socially implemented in the interests of evolutionary progress towards some ''omega point'' of the soul. Hence the title. And hence, too, the fairly matt if not slightly impressionistic photographic self-portrait by the author taken with his mobile camera, as though symptomatic of some ghostly or metaphysical remove from the concrete details of life.

''Revolutions & Revelations'' (of an ideological Philosopher) combines two books of cyclical aphorisms in one volume as it develops the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism to a new and, we think, more advanced level which builds on what was already established in ''Omeganotes of an Ideological Philosopher'' (1996-7). Be warned, things can become very complicated. But they tend to remain logically consistent on both noumenal (space/time) and phenomenal (volume/mass) planes, to the advantage of a more logically comprehensive approach to Truth conceived not simply metaphysically, as with the Ideal, but in relation to the overall array of the four Elements and their various disciplinary correlations or offshoots, so that everything is effectively accounted for whether it is pro-metaphysical or anti-metaphysical, less than metaphysical or opposed to metaphysics.

John O''Loughlin''s so-called ''Book of Beliefs – 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 evolved, and one of its best aspects, in our retrospective view, is the way in which it takes space, time, mass, and volume (the latter two factors already more than most conventional philosophers know of or care anything about), and establishes a continuum between space and time on the one hand, and volume and mass on the other, in such fashion that things either axially rise or fall between opposite types of space, time, volume, and mass (which is again unique to his philosophy). Check it out for yourself, and go beyond the conventional wisdom of academics and all those who, for whatever reason, put learning from others above thinking for themselves. The cover seems appropriately otherworldly.

Continuing from where John O''Loughlin''s previous title, The Un-paralleled Logic of Om-niscience (1923–24) leaves off, this title is divided, with ''Books 1A/B'', into two versions, the first of which, dubbed ''Unhyphenated Version'', is followed by an ''Unhyphenated Addendum'', whilst the second of which, dubbed ''Hyphenated Version'', is likewise duly followed by a ''Hyphenated Addendum'', both of which are the exact thematic replica of Book 1A except for the fact that all the terms which Mr O''Loughlin preferred not to hyphenate in the one have, as noted, been duly hyphenated in the other, thereby providing a relatively conventional text for those readers who would struggle with the unhyphenated version and its addendum which, according to the author, is ntended for the ''radically tight'' rather than the ''conventionally loose'' who, even if not invariably female, nonetheless deserve access, via ''Book 1B'', to a relatively more accessible text, the bulk of which is, indeed, concerned with what he describes as the Lie of a Living God, even if the addenda to each version of the main text happens to be more comprehensively exacting in its approach to a well-nigh exhaustive list of terminological parallels such that, reminiscent of Arthur Koestler, ''sum-up'' his overall philosophy.

Like ''Contemplations'' (1985) and ''Supercontemplations'' (1993), this volume of poetic word art, which bears the title ''Ultracontemplations'', requires only to be contemplated, since it is composed of patterned upper-case word entities which, when they are not in mirror reverse perspective, are all different and all equally suggestive of a variety of insights which arguably owe more to art than to poetry. As does the cover, which features one of John O''Loughlin''s early abstract paintings, dating from 1999.

''Informal Maxims & Maximum Informality'' is another of those ''mirror-image'' composite projects by John O''Loughlin which takes his wholly aphoristic approach to philosophy a stage or two further along the path of philosophical truth than did its precursor in the genre,''Maximum Truth & Truthful Maxims'' (1993), adding to Social Transcendentalism the concept of Social Theocracy, and thus broadening out the messianic ideology of transcendentalism to include what was destined, in subsequent books, to become the ideological counterpart of Social Democracy and, in that sense, the political as opposed to religious face of the ideology in question. The cover is largely comprised of an early abstract painting by John O''Loughlin which, in its quasi-expressionist/quasi-cubist bias he would regard as a suitably informal counterpart to this two-book volume of aphoristic philosophy.

''Supercontemplations'' signifies a creative advance over the lower-case volume of abstract poetry entitled ''Contemplations'' (1985), in that it combines upper- and lower-case monosyllabic words in the process of creating patterned entities which, whatever their subliminal message, require only to be contemplated, and are thus akin to a mode of ''word art'', the only difference being that these ''poems'' were created with a word-processing program rather than with a paint program involving characters.

''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 momentum that takes it to new heights of truthful or metaphysical insight and certitude, heights that will be overhauled in due textural course as the struggle for philosophical verity (or theosophical perfection) continues with what could be called a badgeful - as opposed to ringful - vengeance.

''From Punishment to Grace'' is in many respects the sequel to ''From Satan to Saturn'' (1994), since it follows a similarly cyclical approach to text, with numbered aphorisms that spiral, through several sections, towards a philosophical summit which is both an end and the portent of a fresh beginning, with regard to any subsequent text(s). Suffice it to say that the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism is given a further boost with this thoroughgoing project, whose subject-matter, though wide-ranging, always relates, in one way or another, to the ideology in question, which is conceived as being preponderantly religious in its quest for self-transcendence.

As suggested by its title, ''Last Judgements'' is the last of the so-called supernotational volumes of loosely aphoristic material stemming from ''Devil and God - the Omega Book'' (1985-6), and is a kind of summing-up of and, in some sense, elaboration upon various of the themes previously explored. However, it would be wrong to underestimate the original aspects of this eBook which, though comparatively short, paved the way for a kind of aphoristic purism more supra-egocentrically commensurate with metaphysical truth. As also suggested by the title, there are eschatological implications at work here, which should not be taken lightly.
