When Something Beautiful Dies

In Volume 1 of a projected two-volume philosophy project, author John O'Loughlin has combined material deriving from the pre-published titles Devil and God, From Materialism to Idealism, Towards the Supernoumenon, and Elemental Spectra, all of which, now revised and restructured, date from the mid-late 1980s, with a view to bringing some kind of strict chronology to bear on a series of writings that he dubs 'supernotational', to distinguish them from essays on the one hand and strictly aphoristic material on the other, thereby treading a kind of transitional route between essays and aphorisms in the interests of what became a gradual progression towards an enhanced sense of philosophical logic commensurate, so he believes, with 'Supertruth' and, ultimately, with a kind of plateau of aphoristic purism. - A Centretruths editorial
