Wrecked scholarship based on Gurdjieff lies
Bennett material…
The discussion of Bennett here is tricky: I am not a supporter of his views, despite the interest of his general effort.
But I think that as one goes over the material in public, well, that is the best critique.
You can never do work based on the lies of Gurdjieff. Remember that if you have scholarly ambitions, and remember the sad case of Bennett who took Gurdjieff lies at face value, wrecking his scholarship.
As noted before, it is worth pursuing for the sake of ‘samkhya archaeology’, trying to recover some knowledge of an ancient system of thought.
