Yang and Anti-Yin

'Yang and Anti-Yin', the first of a loose trilogy of similarly-titled aphoristic projects, sets about the task of exploring the dialectics of metaphysics and antimetachemistry as germane to what John O'Loughlin calls the northeast point of the intercardinal axial compass, the point heading the church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axis, and does so with a systematic consistency worthy of the challenge of bringing what has all too often in the Western past been fudged out into the open of a comprehensive logical structure commensurate with the scope of its Orient-derived title. The cover shows one of John O'Loughlin's own abstract paintings which, so he believes, is not without ideological relevance to the structure in question.
