Shut Down and Open Up

This largely philosophical title represents not merely a summation of John O'Loughlin's philosophy to-date but a radical overhaul of some of the theories he had previously taken for granted as logically definitive, and to an extent that the exacting comprehensiveness of his logical structures here attains to something approaching an apotheosis in what must surely be the most advanced analysis of the atomic and pseudo-atomic components of his theorizing humanly possible. One reads this book at one's peril; for, quite apart from the structural complexities of its theorizing, there is no coming back from the conclusions it reaches on the most exactingly comprehensive logical terms and, for the author, it would seem there are few if any further philosophical revisions or thematic advances still to be made. - A Centretruths editorial
