Originally intended to be my last and ultimate work, this project, dealing with distinctions between the Devil and God, embraces over 250 ‘supernotes’, my definition of which is something between an essay and an aphorism, not generally as long as the former or as short as the latter.  In fact, it is the indeterminacy of this genre which most characterizes Devil and God, since one can proceed straight from a two-line entry to one that is several pages in length.  Also significant of my definition of supernotes is the fact that they are anything but scrappy or off-the-cuff, as notes often are, but have been carefully fashioned with the attention one would give to an essay or an aphorism.  They also follow a strictly determined philosophical path, not veering wildly between disparate subjects the way notebooks often do, and are subject to the sorts of evaluating and revaluating I first introduced with the previous text, Evaluations and Revaluations (1985), so that no theme is ever wholly laid to rest until it has been explored from a variety of angles and reconsidered in the light of enhanced insight.  In such fashion, any project based on these supernotes will have a curvilinear inner structure which is the product of spiralling ideas and which contrasts with the outer, book-based rectilinear structures more typical of academic or conventional philosophy.  In that respect, it is effectively theosophical, using that term in a metaphysical sense. – 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 due to ethnic and other incompatibilities (they called her 'Mary Aldershot'), he was brought to England by his mother and grandmother (who had initially returned to Ireland with intent to stay following the death of her British-based husband) in the mid-50s and subsequently attended schools in Aldershot and, following the death and repatriation of his Irish-born grandmother, Carshalton Beeches, Surrey, where, despite an enforced change of denomination from Catholic to Protestant in consequence of having been put into care by his mother, he attended a state school. Graduating in 1970 with an assortment of CSE’s (Certificate of Secondary Education) and GCE’s (General Certificate of Education), including history and music, he moved the comparatively short distance up to London and went on, via two short-lived jobs, to work at the Royal Schools of Music in Bedford Square, where he eventually became responsible for booking examination venues. After a brief flirtation with Redhill Technical College back in Surrey, he returned to his former job in the West End but retired from the ABRSM in 1976 due to a combination of factors, including ill-health, and proceeded to dedicate himself to a literary vocation which, despite a brief spell as a computer tutor at Hornsey YMCA in the late '80s and early '90s, he has effectively continued with ever since. His novels include Changing Worlds (1976), Cross-Purposes (1979), Secret Exchanges (1980), Sublimated Relations (1981), and False Pretences (1982). From the mid-80s Mr O'Loughlin has exclusively dedicated himself to philosophy, his true literary vocation, and penned more than sixty titles of a philosophical nature, including Devil and God – The Omega Book (1985-6), Towards the Supernoumenon (1987), Elemental Spectra (1988-9), Philosophical Truth (1991-2), Maximum Truth (1993), Total Truth (2002), and, more recently, The Best of All Possible Worlds (2008) and The Centre of Truth (2009). John O'Loughlin has continued, since 1974, to live at various addresses in Crouch End and Hornsey, north London, but would like, one day, to return to Ireland.
