Overview

Reworking much of the material contained in 'Private Observations' (2001), this further volume of aphoristic philosophy in several cycles goes deeper into the distinction between gender-conditioned forms of culture and civilization, as well as develops a more comprehensive perspective on sin and grace on the one hand and crime and punishment on the other, specifically with regard to a distinction between nature and psyche in both sensuality and sensibility. Also of especial note here is the departure from previous ascriptions of will, spirit, ego and soul to each gender in favour of the modification of psyche attendant upon a natural bias and, conversely, the modification of nature attendant upon a bias towards psyche. All in all, 'The Myth of Equality' succeeds in bringing John O'Loughlin's philosophy to an inequalitarian and very pluralistic head, such that confirms the desirability of what could be termed 'elemental comprehensiveness' on both class- and gender-conditioned terms. - A Centretruths editorial

Author Information

John O'Loughlin is a Galway-born author who was brought from Ireland to England by his mother as a young boy and grew up in Hampshire and 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.
