The Dramatic Universe: Volume 1 - Foundations of Natural Philosophy

Claymont Communications, Charles Town, West Virginia, USA, 1987. First Thus. Softcover. Very Good Condition. This is the first new edition in more than 30 years of Bennett's ground-breaking exploration. Even 60 years after its original publication, “The Dramatic Universe” represents what is to date the most audacious attempt to meet the demands of both Science and Religion, through the reconciling action of the domain of Realization. This first volume is also the fullest account anywhere of Gurdjieff’s doctrine of Reciprocal Maintenance, and to date, the only explanation of planetary, solar, galactic and universal intelligence. In his Preface Bennett writes: “The postulate of the homogeneity of fact and value will prove to be an instrument of unlimited power and when applied to the elucidation of the Doctrine of Reciprocal Maintenance it can give us a working answer to all the fundamental questions of our existence.” This book is the road map to the New Epoch. "The Foundations of Natural Philosophy" is constructed on a scheme of 9 parts: 1. Metaphysics; 2. Epistemology; 3. Methodology; 4. Systematics; 5. The Dynamical World; 6. The World of Energy; 7. The World of Things; 8. Life; 9. The Cosmic Order. Bennett introduces the technique that became known as Systematics to guide the reader, and harnesses the tools of theoretical physics to explain the worlds that are beyond human perception, but nevertheless underlie our existence.
