Originally dating from 2002, this 'quartet' of philosophical writings brings into one chronologically convenient volume 'Ethnic Universality', 'No Man-Oeuvre', 'The High-Way of Truth', and 'The End of Evolution', all of which are also independently available as free-standing titles in both e-book and paperback formats. Brought together, however, the continuity in John O'Loughlin's philosophical development at this time becomes both more accessible and intelligible, enabling one to follow the evolution of his thought from book to book in what is one of a number of such quartets in which a loosely aphoristic structure serves as the appropriate methodology underlining his mainly metaphysical approach to philosophy that is not, however, without discursive interest of a political or social or even ideological nature.
