John O'Loughlin first got the idea of writing a collection of
dialogues in 1978 after reading the French philosopher Diderot, one
of the outstanding practitioners of the genre, and the results,
several weeks later, were four fairly lengthy philosophical
dialogues, which enabled him to continue developing the dualistic
theories begun the previous year (1977) and included in both the
mainly essayistic 'Between Truth and Illusion' (which contains his
first ever philosophical dialogue) and the comparatively more
aphoristic '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, as well as deep enough to appeal to the more
philosophically inclined.
