Overview

This little book takes John O'Loughlin's philosophy to something approaching a definitive level in relation to those attributes of each of the Elements which make will, spirit, ego and soul possible, and cause them to jostle for primacy or supremacy, according to context, in individuals both separately and collectively, as well as in civilization as a reflection of one sort of society or another, depending on a variety of factors, not least of all environmental. But this slender work of aphoristic philosophy is equally definitive in relation to its understanding of what is called people's civilization and why, despite appearances to the contrary or what anybody might say, such a largely urban civilization, built around the proletariat, can only be totalitarian and is, even now, effectively totalitarian in what most characterizes it and what the author holds to be the precondition of an ultimate totalitarianism, as alluded to in the title, which, if implemented, would take this civilization to its omega point and therefore definitive realization. - A Centretruths editorial

Author Information

John O'Loughlin is a Galway-born author who, at the age of 21/2, was brought over from Ireland to England by his Aldershot-born mother and spent his formative years first in Hampshire and then in Surrey, where he attended a variety of state schools. Most of his adult life has been spent at different addresses in the London Borough of Haringey, north of the Thames, to which he moved from Surrey in 1974, and all but a few of his books have been written there, the majority of which, like this one, are of an intensely philosophical not to say metaphysical and even ideological nature.
