Summary

This book offers a comprehensive study of the works of the Greek-Armenian spiritual teacher George Gurdjieff, with a particular focus on Sufism and its place in his teaching.

Gurdjieff remains an important figure in the history of Western esoteric thought, while also enjoying both academic interest and popularity in modern spiritual environment. Makhabbad Maltabarova examines his magnum opus, “Beelzebub’s Tales”, by focusing on the topic of the self and its development, leading to an innovative approach to the study of Sufism in Gurdjieff’s system.

Offering a critical examination of both the content and the context of Gurdjieff’s teachings, this book is a valuable resource for students and scholars of religious and Islamic studies.
