Johann Wolfgang von Vaughan, B.A., M.A.(UDallas),
M.Real. (MU Belleville), PhD (MU Toronto)
Dr. von Vaughan is a shining light in the cosmos of academe who needs no introduction.
Since first bursting upon the scene with his brilliant and timely discovery of the
philosophical syllogism which proved once & for all the existence of Plato's Universal forms,
Dr. von Vaughan has since expanded his field to the realms of esoteric thought as expounded by
Leo Strauss and the Comte de Falco. Working from the bastion of the great von Vaughan
name (who needs be reminded of the great names von Vaughan pere and von Vaughan the elder?)
Johann, or von Vaughan petit fils, has greatly advanced our actual knowledge of the many real
dimensions of time-space which inhabit the lower realms of theoretical space.
