    A Truthful Approach to Knowledge

    About this ebook

    A TRUTHFUL APPROACH TO KNOWLEDGE is not only volume two of John O'Loughlin's 'Collected Essays', but is effectively the reverse of the first volume, 'A Knowledgeable Approach to Truth', insofar as it is less hampered or besotted by physical knowledge and more open to truth as a kind of metaphysical knowledge which, dependent upon certain feelings, is distinct from knowledge per se, being more purely of the mind. It is still, of course, a volume of essays and therefore short of the sort of metaphysical perfection or purism that only comes with aphorisms, as though 'on the wing'. But, even so, it signifies an advance on its precursor, and should be read with a view to keeping higher possibilities, including the author's aphoristic writings, in mind, since it intimates of them in no uncertain terms!
