A collection of philosophical dialogues by John O’Loughlin

I first got the idea of writing a collection of dialogues in 1978 from reading the French philosopher Diderot, one of the great masters in the genre, and the result, several weeks later, was four fairly lengthy philosophical dialogues, which enabled me to continue developing the dualistic theories begun the previous year (1977) and included in both Between Truth and Illusion (which contains my first ever philosophical dialogue) and The Illusory Truth. Their subject-matter ranges from book collecting as an art and the morality of films to the influence of astrology on writers and retrospective perspectives on history, and although they tend, on the basis of didactic disquisition rather than mere conversation, to be a touch one-sided, they are at least broad enough to be of some interest to the general reader. - John O'Loughlin.
