Peter Demianovich Ouspensky (1878 – 1947) was a Russian author, thinker, and later a teacher of George Ivanovich Gurdjieff’s system of inner development, known as the ‘Fourth Way’.
Ouspensky published his first book, The Fourth Dimension, in 1909, which dealt with the nature of time. This was followed by the present book, Tertium Organum, in 1912. The subtitle of the book, the ‘Third Canon of Thought, a Key to the Enigmas of the World’, is a reference to Aristotle’s Organon, and Francis Bacon’s Novum Organon, and indicates the seriousness of his undertaking.
Tertium Organum draws on Ouspensky’s interest in the nature of time, Eastern and Western mysticism, esotericism, Theosophy, and ‘Cosmic Consciousness’.
This Nascent State edition of A New Model of the Universe is a faithful reprint of the 1931 publication (not a facsimile). Great care has been taken to ensure nothing has been altered or omitted from the original. The book includes all the chapters, including the foreword, the diagrams, and index, and has been reformatted to make it clear and readable.
Peter Demianovich Ouspensky was born in Moscow in 1878. He began working life as a journalist, and by 1906 he had worked his way up to the editorial offices of the Moscow daily newspaper The Morning.
His interest in philosophy and higher mathematics led him to publish his first book, The Fourth Dimension, in 1909. His first major work, Tertium Organum, was published in 1912. The title, meaning ‘The third canon of thought’, was a reference to Aristotle’s Organon and Francis Bacon’s Novum Organon, and indicated the seriousness of his undertaking.
This was followed by A New Model of the Universe. Although the book was revised and amended by Ouspensky over a period of twenty years, he wrote that it was ‘begun and practically completed before 1914’. He subtitled the book ‘Principles of the psychological method in its application to problems of science, religion, and art.’
While many regard Ouspensky as no more than a disciple of Gurdjieff’s, much of A New Model of the Universe was written before meeting him in 1915. It follows that what Ouspensky called the ‘Psychological Method’ did not come from Gurdjieff, but from his own understanding and outlook.
This Nascent State edition is a faithful reprint of the 1931 publication of In Search of the Miraculous (not a scanned facsimile). Great care has been taken to ensure nothing has been altered or omitted from the original. The book includes all the chapters, including the foreword, the diagrams, and index, and has been reformatted to make it clear and readable.

In 1915 he met the enigmatic George Ivanovich Gurdjieff, and the direction of his life changed. Ouspensky then created a system from the fragments transmitted by Gurdjieff and began teaching it to those who attended his lectures in London in 1921. In Search of the Miraculous is a record of his meeting with, and eventual departure from Gurdjieff.

In 1915 he met the enigmatic George Ivanovich Gurdjieff, and the direction of his life changed. It was Ouspensky’s task to create a system from the fragments transmitted by Gurdjieff. The Fourth Way is a record of the answers given by Ouspensky to questions put to him by those who attended his lectures in London from 1921 until his death in 1947. The book contains what is probably the most complete exposition of the System as taught by Ouspensky.
