Synopsis

This title does not paint a particularly flattering picture of Anglo-American relations vis-à-vis Europe as a whole and the world in general, but strives to show not merely how but why the United Kingdom is a problem for Europe and the prospect of greater European integration. However, all problems tend to invite solutions, and the author's own solution to the problem of the UK vis-à-vis Europe in general but Ireland in particular draws on his ideological legacy as a self-proclaimed Social Theocrat who, like the French philosopher Michel Foucault, is not only ranged against an overly Social Democratic 'take' on progress, but has an alternative path to offer which owes a lot more to European tradition than ever it does to the long-standing opponents of that tradition, who would be amongst the last peoples, as things stand, to either understand or be able to tread this new path which, so the author contends, is the path to universal harmony and therefore of an end to national divisions, not least those fostered upon economic self-interest. – A Centretruths editorial

À propos de l'auteur

John O'Loughlin is a Galway-born London author who, at the age of 2½, was brought over from Ireland to England by his Aldershot-born mother and grew up first in Hampshire and then in Surrey, where he attended a variety of state schools. Most of his adult life has been spent at different addresses in the London Borough of Haringey, north of the Thames, to which he moved from Surrey in 1974, and all but a few of his books have been written there, the majority of which, like this one, are of an intensely philosophical not to say metaphysical and even ideological nature.
