At the Crossroads of Axial Divergence

As suggested by the title, this volume of aphoristic philosophy by John O Loughlin proceeds to explore the distinctions between what have been termed the bureaucratic-theocratic axis of a rising diagonal and the autocratic-democratic axis of a falling diagonal, and does so in such a way that there can be no doubt as to the outcome of each axial progression, whether it be in respect of Social Theocracy or Social Democracy, with eschatological implications which give a contemporary twist to the concept of Judgement and the consequences of what is at stake in any contest between the two axes, the divergent natures of which have been more comprehensively fleshed out here than in the preceding title Apocalypso (2003) by the author. But as anyone familiar with that project will agree, there can be only one path for the self-respecting Righteous to follow, and such a path leads up and in rather than down and out! - A Centretruths editorial.
