The four books making up THE VIRTUOUS CIRCLES QUARTET, viz. 'The Virtuous Circles', 'The Struggle for
Ultimate Freedom', 'Apotheosis of the Gnosis', and 'Eschatology or Scatology', were written by John O'Loughlin during 2003,
one of his most productive years, and enlarge upon the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism to a degree beyond
any of his earlier writings, if still chronologically anterior, in the overall progression of things, to those books contained
within the project linked with it below - namely, THE APOCALYPSO QUARTET, the contents of whose titles, 'Apocalypso', 'At
the Crossroads of Axial Divergence', 'Opti-Mystic Projections', and 'Unflattering Conclusions', further advance the said philosophy
towards its definitive culmination in a structural comprehensiveness owing much, though not everything, to the four Elements,
which serve as the basis for subsequent refinements.
