TRUTHFUL ILLUSIONS & ILLUSORY TRUTHS is effectively a combination of the essayistic material from two prior publications, viz. 'Between Truth and Illusion' and 'The Illusory Truth' (1977), and therefore signifies a kind of truncated or concise version of those books which has the merit of excluding their additional or alternative approaches to philosophy, like aphorisms and dialogues, as it concentrates, with single-minded essayistic purpose, upon the essential concerns of John O'Loughlin's early philosophy, viz. the exploration of dualism in relation to antitheses, around the mid-late '70s, at the very beginning of his long vocational adventure in the exploration of philosophical truth. The cover has something almost abstract expressionist about it, as the intense tangle and crossings of branches or twigs is suggestive of a painting by Jackson Pollock.
