Bennett

J. G. Bennett, philosopher, mathematician and outstanding practical interpreter of the ideas of G. I. Gurdjieff, examines in this, his last book, evidence for one of the most persistent of human beliefs - that throughout history a hidden group of men has existed which, with wisdom beyond normal human understanding, has periodically intervened in troubled world affairs to restore harmony and inject a new spiritual potential for human evolution. John Bennett died on the day he had decided to write the last chapter of The Master of Wisdom. The book is here published just as Bennett left the manuscript. His unique study of unconventional; history offers detailed evidence in support of a powerful and unifying hypothesis of a guiding Demiurgic intelligence and contains a message that is vital for the survival of mankind.
