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.

This is one of the Great Books on the Great Mystery..... do you have a mind balanced and broad enough to grasp it? Time is really motion in extra dimensional space... this profound thought can point us towards the actual physical location of the "Fourth Dimension." Our perception confuses this Dimension with Time, but with an evolution of consciousness, it can be percieved. This is the next huge Evolutionary Leap, both for the individual and for Mankind, in understanding the true nature of the Universe and Reality. Peter D. Ouspesky was a widely traveled Russian born philosopher, who made his way to London after the Bolshevik Revolution. He was associated with Gurdjieff for many years, but ultimately seperated both from the man and the philosophy. Ouspensky's work stands apart and above, as writing of rare lucidity and clarity.

"An imposing edifice of thought. Every one of its twenty chapters will richly repay careful reading. Those passages dealing with ethics, love, the significance of knowledge, and the meaning of life are hard to surpass." - New York Evening Post The title of this book, Tertium Organum, boldly refers no less to a reorganization of all knowledge, but it is primarily a study of psychology, more specifically the psychology of our higher mind. For Ouspensky what we can call the higher mind represents, within a single person, the development of an entirely new way of understanding. In short, psychology is the art of self-study. With remarkable scope and sophistication, Ouspensky shows us in this book, which has been hailed as "a work of genius," just how vast and strange our universe really is. P. D. [PETYR DEMIANOVICH] OUSPENSKY (1878-1947) was a Russian mathematician and philosopher turned mystic, who combined geometry and psychology in his discussion of higher dimensions of existence. After traveling through Europe and the East, seeking unsuccessfully the world's centers where ancient esoteric knowledge and wisdom are not only preserved, but taught to initiates, he returned to Russia where he met and studied under G.I. Gurdjieff. Ouspensky is today best known for his expositions of the early work of this famous Russian mystic.
