About This Item
NY: Harcourt Brace, 1950. First Edition. Small 8vo, pp. 1238. Bound in blue cloth with a chipped and worn dj. Not price clipped. From Wikipedia: " George Ivanovich Gurdjieff (1866-1949) was a mystic, philosopher, spiritual teacher, and composer of Armenian and Greek descent, born in Alexandrapol, Armenia. The Fourth Way is an approach to self-development developed by George Gurdjieff over years of travel in the East (c. 1890 - 1912). It combines and harmonizes what he saw as three established traditional "ways" or "schools": those of the emotions, the body, and the mind, or of monks, fakirs, and yogis, respectively. Students often refer to the Fourth Way as "The Work", "Work on oneself", or "The System". The exact origins of some of Gurdjieff's teachings are unknown, but various sources have been suggested. The term "Fourth Way" was further used by his student P. D. Ouspensky in his lectures and writings.
