Abstract This book demonstrates that the most forceful contribution to George Gurdjieff's world-view is Sufism, understood as the tradition of seeking truth wherever it can be found, especially at the meeting place of the world religions. Gurdjieff's masterpiece 'Beelzebub's tales to his grandson' is philosophically analyzed in its use of literary devices to jolt the reader into radical transformation.
