✦ Synopsis

'The Modern Death' offers both a critique of the materialistic superficiality of modern life and a spiritually-oriented ideologica alternative to it in the form of Social Transcendentalism, which was first introduced into the author's poetry with the collection 'Spiritual Intimations'(1982), but here achieves a metaphysical depth of insight that was one of the factors in his subsequently abandoning poetry for philosophy in order to concentrate unequivocally on his theorizing. Be that as it may, this collection of free verse has a right to be regarded as metaphysical poetry, even though John O'Loughlin's concept of metaphysics was to undergo a radical overhaul in the years since the composition of these poems.
