Explorations in Active Mentation: Re-Membering Gurdjieff's Teaching, A Grandchild's Odyssey

Explorations in Active Mentation investigates G.I. Gurdjieff's teaching, drawing from a lifetime study of Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson. Explorations in Active Mentation is "a major illustrated attempt to bring out the meaning and significance of Gurdjieff's philosophical ideas," says The Inner Bookshop, in Oxford, England. Thirteen essays and 135 color illustrations are framed by "The Author's Journey" and "Recommended Reading-Reference." Explorations in Active Mentation is unique in its profuse incorporation of symbol and color illustrations to aid the reader in understanding Gurdjieff's teaching.
