remarks below:–
As suggested by the title, this project
resolves some outstanding problems and anomalies appertaining to Stairway
to Judgement
(2003), including, not least, the relative positions of what have been called
pseudo-sin and pseudo-grace on the one hand and pseudo-crime and pseudo-punishment
on the other hand, drawing them closer to their respective primary complements
in both state and church, so that a more integrated conclusion has been reached
in which the hegemonic gender of either axis, as redefined in A Perfect Resolution, conditions the nature of the subordinate attribute in relation
to the presiding ideal, and conditions it, moreover, in its own image.
However, this title does a lot more than correct the 'heathenistic' aberrations of
the previous one; for it also exposes the extent to which criteria appertaining
to good and evil, not to mention wisdom and folly, are significantly dependent
on the nature of the society of which they are a part, so that at the end of
the day it isn’t whether this or that is right or wrong, good or bad, but what
exactly conditions people to take one view or another that really matters, and
this, not surprisingly, is to a large extent dependent on which gender is
effectively controlling society and whether or not there has been a
'transvaluation of values' sympathetic to a formal departure from sensuality to
sensibility. For what is 'right' in sensuality can become very 'wrong'
from the standpoint of sensibility, provided society has officially gravitated
to such a standpoint - something, I have argued, which contemporary
civilization, characterized as urban proletarian, has yet to do, with
consequences that would reverse much of what currently passes for 'good' and
'wise', as explained in the ensuing text. – John O'Loughlin.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John O’Loughlin
was born in Salthill, Galway,
the Republic
of Ireland,
of mixed Irish- and British-born parents in 1952. Following a parental split he
was brought to England by his mother and grandmother (who had initially returned to Ireland with her daughter upon the death of her Aldershot-based husband) in the mid-50s and, after some private tuition from a Catholic priest,
subsequently attended infant/junior schools in Aldershot and, with an enforced
change of denomination from Catholic to Protestant in consequence of having
been placed in care by his mother upon the death and repatriation
of his ethnically-protective grandmother, Carshalton, Surrey. Leaving secondary school in pre-GCSE era 1970 with an assortment of CSEs (Certificate of
Secondary Education) and GCEs (General Certificate
of Education), including history and music, he moved to London and went on, via
two short-lived jobs, to work at the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of
Music in Bedford Square, where he eventually became responsible as a clerical officer for booking
ABRSM examination venues throughout Britain and Ireland. After a brief flirtation with further education at Redhill Technical College back in Surrey, where he was then living, he returned to his former job in the West End
but, due to a combination of factors, left the Associated in 1976 and began to
pursue a literary vocation which, despite a brief spell as a computer and office-skills tutor at
Hornsey YMCA in the late '80s and early '90s, he has steadfastly continued with
ever since. His novels include Changing
Worlds (1976), An
Interview Reviewed (1979), Secret Exchanges (1980), Sublimated
Relations (1981), and Deceptive
Motives (1981). Since the mid-80s John O'Loughlin has effectively dedicated himself to philosophy, which he regards as his true
literary vocation, and has penned numerous titles of a philosophical
nature, including Devil and God
(1985–6), Towards the Supernoumenon (1987), Elemental Spectra (1988–9), Philosophical Truth (1991–2) and,
more recently, The Best
of All Possible Worlds (2008), The Centre of Truth
(2009), Insane but not Mad
(2011) and Philosophic
Flights of Poetic Fancy (2012).
