Philosophical Ruminations & Theosophical Illuminations

The ironically titled 'Philosophical Ruminations', written intermittently between 2006-7, chews the philosophic cud in a variety of settings, some metaphysical, others less so, but does it with an essayistic flair that owes more to the blogging medium from which the material was derived (the author's original site at 'blogger.com') than to any conscious intent on his part to be essayistic or overly discursive. Nonetheless, these weblogs are recognizably a part of John O'Loughlin's overall literary canon, and the reader familiar with his works would find ample evidence of what passes for Social Theocratic truth, as also with the 'Theosophical Illuminations' which follows on from the above and is more consciously aphoristic, deriving from the author's former blogsite at 'spweblog.com' and being akin, in a sense, to a further instalment of the kind of material included in 'Opus Postscriptum' (2006). - A Centretruths editorial
