‚From Punishment to Grace‘ is in many respects the sequel to ‚From Satan to Saturn‘ (1994), since it follows a similarly cyclical approach to text, with numbered aphorisms that spiral, through several sections, towards a philosophical summit which is both an end and the portent of a fresh beginning, with regard to any subsequent text(s). Suffice it to say that the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism is given a further boost with this thoroughgoing project, whose subject-matter, though wide-ranging, always relates, in one way or another, to the ideology in question, which is conceived as being preponderantly religious in its quest for self-transcendence.
