The six books that make up this 'sextet' of aphoristic writings by John O'Loughlin, aka johulin, date from 2004 and represent
his philosophy at or near its peak, with a view of dialectics that adds a completely new twist to the term and exposes, not
least historically, Marxist thinking for its narrowly humanistic limitations. As does the project linked with it via the
Favorite Links, THE YANG AND ANTI-YIN QUARTET which, written the following year, categorically establishes the criteria by
which a seeming complementarity of the genders can be established, not least at the northeast point of the intercardinal axial
compass in relation to metaphysics and what has been called antimetachemistry. Incidentally, the last book of this, Mr O'Loughlin's
last, quartet is an ironic pun on Koestler's final published book - 'Janus - A Summing Up'. Check both major works out for
yourself.
