Tertium Organum, which he believed was the third major
philosophical synthesis, the previous being those of Aristotle and
Bacon. Originally issued in Russian in 1912, this is the second,
revised edition. It was translated into English and published in
1922.
The Tertium Organum by P. D. Ouspensky explains the author's
philosophy of human behavior, and attempts to reconcile the natural
sciences with the theological and spiritual beliefs developed by
mankind. A bold and ambitious work of philosophy, Tertium Organum
is a committed attempt to establish a new model of the universe
from the perspective of humanity. Our individual reality and
perceptions, the application and development of the sciences, and
our relationship with the spiritual and the divine form background
themes in what is often an intense and focused explanation of
reality. The author does not stray to fanciful notions, but embarks
and maintains a route of reasoned explanation after the style of
the theosophical movement. P. D. Ouspensky was born in Russia and
first worked at a newspaper in Moscow. World War I proved almost
disastrous to his spiritual and professional life; the Tertium
Organum, originally written and published in Russia, was assumed
lost amid the conflict.
A new edition of the groundbreaking spiritual treasure, with a
foreword by bestselling author Marianne Williamson .
Since its original publication in 1949, In Search of the Miraculous
has been hailed as the most valuable and reliable documentation of
G. I. Gurdjieff's thoughts and universal view. This historic and
influential work is considered by many to be a primer of mystical
thought as expressed through the Work, a combination of Eastern
philosophies that had for centuries been passed on orally from
teacher to student. Gurdjieff's goal, to introduce the Work to the
West, attracted many students, among them Ouspensky, an established
mathematician, journalist, and, with the publication of In Search
of the Miraculous, an eloquent and persuasive proselyte.
Ouspensky describes Gurdjieff's teachings in fascinating and
accessible detail, providing what has proven to be a stellar
introduction to the universal view of both student and teacher. It
goes without saying that In Search of the Miraculous has inspired
great thinkers and writers of ensuing spiritual movements,
including Marianne Williamson, the highly acclaimed author of A
Return to Love and Illuminata. In a new and never-before-published
foreword, Williamson shares the influence of Ouspensky's book and
Gurdjieff's teachings on the New Thought movement and her own life,
providing a contemporary look at an already timeless classic.
2013 Reprint of 1913 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Front
and back covers reproduce the 22 cards illustrated in color in the
original edition. This is Ouspensky's classic study of the 22 cards
of the Greater Arcana. His insightful illustrations and commentary
provide a fuller understanding of the meaning of each card, how
they complement each other and their respective roles in an
accurate card reading.

2013 Reprint of 1931 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In this
classic work, Ouspenky analyzes certain of the older schools of
thought from the East and the West, connecting them with modern
ideas and explaining them in light of the most recent discoveries
and speculations in newer schools of philosophy and religion. In
the course of his research he integrates the theories of
relativity, the fourth dimension and current psychological
theories. The book closes with a consideration of the sex problem
from the perspective of sex in relation to the evolution of man
toward superman.
2013 Reprint of 1922 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In 1920
"Tertium Organum" was published in the USA; Claude Bragdon one of
the people responsible for translating and publishing the English
edition stated at the time; 'In naming his book "Tertium Organum"
Ouspensky reveals at a stroke that astounding audacity which
characterizes his thought throughout... Such a title says, in
effect: "Here is a book which will reorganize all knowledge. The
"Organon" of Aristotle formulated the laws under which the subject
thinks; the "Novum Organum" of Bacon, the laws under which the
object may be known; but the Third Canon of Thought existed before
these two, and ignorance of its laws does not justify their
violation. "Tertium Organum" shall guide and govern human thought
henceforth."'

The Fourth Way is the most comprehensive statement thus far published of the ideas taught by the late P.D. Ouspensky. Consisting of verbatim records of his oral teaching from 1921 to 1946, it gives a lucid explanation of the practical side of G. I. Gurdjieff's teachings, which Gurdjieff presented in the form of raw materials, Ouspensky's specific task having been to put them together as a systematic whole. Just as Tertium Organum deals with a new mode of thinking, so The Fourth Way is concerned with a new way of living. It shows a way of inner development to be followed under the ordinary conditions of life -- as distinct from the three traditional ways that call for retirement from the world: those of the fakir, the monk, and the yogi.
The Fourth Way is a guide for those who seek a true way of inner growth under conditions open to the men and women of today.
