Magnus Dei

With some twenty-eight cycles of numbered aphorisms, 'Magnus Dei' is something of a magnus opus, even if still at quite some distance from the top rung of John O'Loughlin's ladder-like literary oeuvre, which he believes rises ever higher towards a summit of metaphysical truth. Nevertheless, with a number of elementally-conditioned quadruplicities and gender-conditioned dichotomies that open up new vistas of insight and logical certitude, this work brings the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism a significant stage closer to its definitive realization, as we analyze the various quadruplicities in relation to the fundamental gender dichotomy which divides objectivity from subjectivity and soma from psyche or, in common parlance, body from mind, and draw appropriate conclusions. Conclusions, that is, from the standpoint of metaphysical and the transcendentalism which ideologically underpins it.
