Maximum Truth (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | John O'Loughlin | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

If the essayistic aphorisms and aphoristic notes of John O'Loughlin's eight prior volumes of 'supernotes' (from 'Devil and God ...' to 'Last Judgements'), are of indeterminate length, then what follows here, dating from 1993, is of an aphoristic purism which allows for little or no deviation from the basic form. One could say that he had passed through the heavy darkness into the full light(ness) of Truth at this point, and the result is a vindication not only of the aforementioned 'supernotational' volumes, but of his entire philosophical quest to-date.Comprised of 707 maxims which have been given 'a/b' subdivisions, 'Maximum Truth' succeeds in achieving, albeit on a still-far from definitive basis, the sort of metaphysical comprehensiveness the author has been struggling towards all along. One could say that it signifies a refinement upon the essayistic aphorisms and aphoristic notes of what had preceded it in such works as 'Philosophical Truth' and 'Veritas Philosophicus'; though the tendency to recycle ideas in modified guise, by now a veritable principle of his work, persists here to even greater effect, insofar as it was this technique which made the attainment of what is in some respects a maximum degree of truth truly possible. - A Centretruths editorial
