With this incredible book John O'Loughlin has brought his philosophy to irs logical culmination which, after fifty years of literary endeavour, is even more structurally-exacting than the previous titles of his not-inconsiderable philosopical oeuvre and, for that reason, it will only appeal to those who, knowing something of his prior achievements in the genre, have sufficient interest in philosophical profundities as to bear with what is, in effect, a kind of textbook of his logic that it would be impossible to simply read in the manner of a work of prose, having been constructed in a painstakingly methodical manner which, for reasons of logical consistency, owes as much to retroactive amendment as to actual proactive composition. Hence the punned nature of its title. – A Centretruths Editorial.

 Self-taught thinker and writer and philosopher John O'Loughlin was born in Galway City, Co. Galway, Ireland, in 1952. Following a parental separation whilst still an infant he was brought to England by his mother and grandmother (who had initially returned to Ireland after a lengthy marital absence) in the mid-50s and, having first had the benefit of private tuition from a Catholic priest, subsequently attended St. Joseph's and St. George's RC schools in Aldershot, Hants, and, with an enforced change of denomination from Catholic to Protestant in consequence of having been put into care by his mother upon the death and repatriation of his ethnically-protective grandmother, he went on to attend first Barrow Hedges Junior School in Carshalton Beeches, Surrey, and then Carshalton High School for Boys in Sutton, Surrey. Upon leaving school in pre-GCSE era 1970 with an assortment of CSEs (Certificate of Secondary Education) and GCEs (General Certificate of Education), including history and music, he was obliged to move from Surrey to London and went on, via two short-lived jobs, to work at the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music in Bedford Square, where, with some prior experience of having sat and passed (with merit) an ABRSM Gd.4 piano exam whilst still at school, he eventually became responsible for booking venues for the Board's classical music exams throughout the British & Irish Isles. After a brief flirtation with further education at Redhill Technical College back in Surrey, where he had enrolled to do English and History A Levels, he returned to his former job in the West End but, due to a combination of personal factors, left the Associated Board in 1976 and began to pursue a literary vocation which, despite a brief return to his old job in 1977 and a lengthy spell as a computer and office-skills tutor at Hornsey YMCA in the late '80s and early '90s, he has steadfastly continued with ever since.
