Book Description
CELESTIAL CITY AND ANTI-VANITY FAIR, with its Bunyan-like connotations, brings what John O'Loughlin had been building towards in previous books, such as '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. Hence the metaphysical and antimetachemical implications of the title are reflected on a parallel terminological basis which it becomes a philosophical principle and moral duty to systematically embrace.

Book Description
In John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, the pilgrims cannot reach the Celestial City without passing through Vanity Fair, where everything is bought and sold. In recent years there has been much analysis of commerce and consumption in Britain during the long eighteenth century, and of the dramatic expansion of popular publishing. Similarly, much has been written on the extraordinary effects of the evangelical revivals of the eighteenth century in Britain, Europe, and North America. But how did popular religious culture and the world of print interact? It is now known that religious works formed the greater part of the publishing market for most of the century. What religious books were read, and how? Who chose them? How did they get into people's hands? Vanity Fair and the Celestial City is the first book to answer these questions in detail. It explores the works written, edited, abridged, and promoted by evangelical dissenters, Methodists both Arminian and Calvinist, and Church of England evangelicals in the period 1720 to 1800. Isabel Rivers also looks back to earlier sources and forward to the continued republication of many of these works well into the nineteenth century. The first part is concerned with the publishing and distribution of religious books by commercial booksellers and not-for-profit religious societies, and the means by which readers obtained them and how they responded to what they read. The second part shows that some of the most important publications were new versions of earlier nonconformist, episcopalian, Roman Catholic, and North American works. The third part explores the main literary kinds, including annotated bibles, devotional guides, exemplary lives, and hymns. Building on many years' research into the religious literature of the period, Rivers discusses over two hundred writers and provides detailed case studies of popular and influential works.

Book Description
This quartet of books of aphoristic philosophy with a Social Theocratic dimension is comprised of 'Yang and Anti-Yin', 'Lamb and Anti-Lion', 'Celestial City and Anti-Vanity Fair' and, last but by no means least, 'Jesus - A Summing Up!', the title of which is a kind of oblique tribute to Arthur Koestler's estimable 'Janus - A Summing Up', which, however, would not have much bearing on the aforementioned works in terms of thematic structure, as germane, by and large, to the noumenal distinction between metaphysics and antimetachemistry, as explained in the texts.

Book Description
A substantial collection of extensively revised and reformatted philosophical weblogs from different sites by the author, 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 and ontological positions without seeming overladen or overburdened with rhetoric, although a certain philological verbosity inevitably persists. Nevertheless, this remains one of Mr O'Loughlin's most significant works.

Book Description
These two 'posthumous' publications to John O'Loughlin's oeuvre-proper were culled, like the material of 'Opus Postscriptum', from two of his blogsites and contain material of an essayistic and aphoristic nature which has been extensively revised and reformatted to suit the parameters of e-book publication. There is a sense, though only a loose one, in which the first book corresponds to physics and the second, the so-called 'Theosophical Illuminations', to metaphysics; though that is more in the form than in the substance, since both books are equally radical and thoroughgoing in their approach to metaphysics and kindred subjects.

Book Description
Jesus - A Summing Up, as it has been titled, somewhat with Arthur Koestler's 'Janus - A Summing Up' in mind, pretty much brings the formal 'oeuvre' stage of John O'Loughlin's philosophizing, which began back in 1977 and has resulted in over ninety works of a philosophical nature, not to mention some thirty-odd works in other genres, to a satisfactory conclusion, and therefore it 'sums up' much of what has gone before and even adds some new material, much to the author's surprise, here and there - something presaging the next stage of things in the blogging with philosophical intent that was to come!

Book Description
OPUS POSTSCRIPTUM differs from John O'Loughlin's official written oeuvre in that it is comprised of revised and reformatted weblogs from the author's site at spweblog.com and is therefore supplementary to the works which came to a head with 'The Yang and Anti-Yin Quartet' (2005). Most of the essay-like supernotes of the two books that constitute this estimable e-book were written during 2005-6, and are therefore amongst Mr O'Loughlin's most up-to-date projects, supplementing his ideological approach to philosophy with fresh ideas and new logical permutations.

Book Description
BEYOND TRUTH AND ILLUSION markedly contrasts with John O'Loughlin's first venture into philosophy back in 1977, 'Between Truth and Illusion', and does so to the extent of being more akin to the omega point of his philosophical oeuvre than to anything alpha-like at the beginning. Here he has finally answered his doubts and brought his quest to rest on the basis of a collection of revised and reformatted weblogs which have every right to be regarded as aphoristically metaphysical.
