Gurdjieff and P.D. Ouspensky to Western esotericism, particularly focusing on the Fourth Way. It examines the evolution of the discourse surrounding this field, challenges existing disciplinary consensus, and seeks to amplify marginalized voices within esoteric studies. The work aims to provide a foundational understanding for those unfamiliar with contemporary esotericism and its significance in modernity.
