OCCASIONAL MAXIMS & MAXIMUM OCCASIONS resembles other reverse-title books like 'Informal Maxims & Maximum Informality' (1993) in its basic two-fold design, but differs from them in respect of the kind of thematic shift, resembling a mini-revolution, that takes place in the second book of this metaphysically deep and ideologically radical project, continuing, as before, the quest for philosophical perfection through Social Transcendentalism.

OMEGA MAXIMS & MAXIMUM OMEGA is a major project of reverse-title volumes even by John O'Loughlin's amazingly productive and generally profound standards, and brings his philosophizing in this genre to a climax, not least in respect of a deeper approach to subatomic metaphysics, or metaphysics conceived in subatomic terms, and rising and falling diagonals, with due attention to 'particle' and 'wavicle' differentials, both of which terms he appropriated from Arthur Koestler in the interests of his own uniquely comprehensive philosophy.

Like 'Contemplations' (1985) and 'Supercontemplations' (1993), this volume of poetic word art, which bears the title ULTRACONTEMPLATIONS, requires only to be contemplated, since it is composed of patterned upper-case entities which, when they are not in mirror reverse perspective, are all different and all equally suggestive of a variety of insights which arguably owe more to art than to poetry.

As suggested by the pun-like title, LAST (W)RITES is both a bringing to a conclusion of certain previous theories by John O'Loughlin, self-taught philosopher and literary writer, which here attain to a well-nigh definitive presentation, and a ceremonial conclusion to certain lifestyles which this book is intended to assist kill off in the interests of what it calls a Superchristian dispensation commensurate with Social Transcendentalism and, hence, with an antithesis to all that, in contemporary terms, is effectively Superheathen, though the term 'secular', not least in relation to 'feminism' is of course more germane.

Kant on Maxims and Moral Motivation

This book outlines and circumvents two serious problems that appear to attach to Kant’s moral philosophy, or more precisely to the model of rational agency that underlies that moral philosophy: the problem of experiential incongruence and the problem of misdirected moral attention. The book’s central contention is that both these problems can be sidestepped. In order to demonstrate this, it argues for an entirely novel reading of Kant’s views on action and moral motivation. In addressing the two main problems in Kant’s moral philosophy, the book explains how the first problem arises because the central elements of Kant’s theory of action seem not to square with our lived experience of agency, and moral agency in particular. For example, the idea that moral deliberation invariably takes the form of testing personal policies against the Categorical Imperative seems at odds with the phenomenology of such reasoning, as does the claim that all our actions proceed from explicitly adopted general policies, or maxims. It then goes on to discuss the second problem showing how it is a result of Kant’s apparent claim that when an agent acts from duty, her reason for doing so is that her maxim is lawlike. This seems to put the moral agent’s attention in the wrong place: on the nature of her own maxims, rather than on the world of other people and morally salient situations. The book shows how its proposed novel reading of Kant’s views ultimately paints an unfamiliar but appealing picture of the Kantian good-willed agent as much more embedded in and engaged with the world than has traditionally been supposed.

Holding the world featherweight boxing championship for more than 11 years, Johnny Kilbane's name became synonymous with the title. His accepted record of 51-4-7, with 78 no decisions and two no contests (25 victories by way of knockout), put him in elite company with other members of the International Boxing Hall of Fame. In October 1917--while still World Featherweight Champion--Johnny Kilbane became a lieutenant in the U.S. Army to serve in World War I. Following his career as fighter, he turned to adjudication and transformed himself into a talented and prolific boxing referee. He did so while juggling other responsibilities such as operating a gym, serving in the Ohio Senate, or acting as Clerk of the Cleveland Municipal Court. As dedicated to public service as he was to pugilism, he gained the respect of his peers and his constituents and was admired for his commitment to family. This is his biography.
