Description

George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff was a man shrouded in mystery. His life and teachings have captivated many, but behind the myth lies a profound body of thought. This book presents an accessible introduction to his philosophy, exploring the idea that human existence is driven by forces beyond our control. At its core, Gurdjieff's work revolves around the concept of 'the war against sleep'. Colin Wilson describes man as being like 'a grandfather clock driven by a watch-spring', highlighting the tension between our conscious and unconscious selves. This book offers a clear and concise examination of Gurdjieff's life and teachings, providing a solid foundation for understanding his philosophy. First published in 2005, this revised edition has been expanded to provide a definitive introduction to Gurdjieff's work.
