Mr O'Loughlin's first exercise in philosophy, originally dating from 1977, takes as its starting-point an analysis of the inter-relativity of dualities and expands, via a series of aphoristic essays and dramatic lessons, towards a dialogue climax in which the two - inevitably! - characters discuss the implications of a dualistic philosophy both as it impacts on theory and practice. Although the author didn't realize it at the time, truth and illusion are a lot closer together than may at first appear to be the case, even if one doesn't necessarily have to get between them!

"BETWEEN TRUTH AND ILLUSION" John O'Loughlin's first volume of philosophy, dating from 1977, combines aphoristic essays with essayistic aphorisms (the so-called 'lessons') in an exploration of dualism, or the interdependence of opposites, polarities, antitheses, etc., and to this basic approach to philosophy is appended a lengthy dialogue, the dualistic genre par excellence, which both sums up and expands upon the aforementioned philosophy in such fashion that one comes away with a feeling of having been intellectually enriched and made more aware of how conflict can lead to resolution.
