Gurdjieff Reconsidered (häftad, eng)

From a master biographer and longtime Gurdjieff practitioner, a brilliant new exploration of the quintessential Western esoteric teacher of the twentieth-century.

The Greek-Armenian teacher G.I. Gurdjieff was one of the most original and provocative spiritual teachers in the twentieth-century WestWhereas much work on Gurdjieff has been either fawning or blindly critical, acclaimed scholar and writer Roger Lipsey balances sympathic interest in Gurdjieff and his "Fourth Way" teachings with a historian''s sense of context and a biographer''s feel for personality and relationships.

Using a wide-range of published and unpublished sources, Lipsey explores Gurdjieff''s formative travels in Central Asia, his famed teaching institution in France, the development of the Gurdjieff Movements and music, and, above all, Gurdjieff''s fascinating continuous evolution as a teacher.



Published on the 70th anniversary of Gurdjieff''s death, Gurdjieff Reconsidered delves deeply into Gurdjieff''s writings and those of his most important students, including P. D. Ouspensky and Jeanne de Salzmann. Lipsey''s comprehensive approach and unerring sense of the subject make this a must-read for anyone with a serious intention to explore Gurdjieff''s life, teachings, and reputation.
