Dating from 1996, 'Omega Maxims' is a further instalment of the aphoristic purism to which John O'Loughlin had last committed his pen with 'Occasional Maxims & Maximum Occasions' (1994-5), and constitutes, with over 1000 maxims, what he holds to be the best work of its kind prior to the companion volume 'Maximum Omega', which is probably his finest collection of maxims, doing more justice to Truth, or metaphysical knowledge, than virtually any of his previous works. In fact, here at last, with this collection of 575 maxims, is what could be called Mr O'Loughlin's 'magnum omega', bringing to completion, in this particular genre, his long quest for philosophical perfection through what is arguably the most ideologically advanced and logically rigorous philosophy ever constructed.
