Dramatic Universe (Volume 2): The Foundations of Moral Philosophy

Bennett Books, London, 1997. First Thus. Paperback. Near Fine Condition. Titles; author's note; preface & extensive contents list to front. Facsimile of 1961 edition. The Dramatic Universe builds an account of the significance and purpose of man’s existence on the earth, revealing a great task that necessitates a two-way communication with Higher Intelligences. The four volume work is a complete journey through J .G. Bennett’s search to give expression to the systematisation of the whole Universal drama. Spanning fifty chapters from 'Points of Departure' to 'The Next Age of Mind', the Dramatic Universe provides a total unified picture of Man, the World, and God by synthesising the three domains of fact, value and harmony. This is achieved through a framework of determining conditions postulating Being time as Eternity, and Will time as Hyparxis. Complete self-development is needed in order to fulfil our destined role in the spiritualisation of existence and this, in turn, requires fulfilment of our potential in being and our development of will. Man's 'eternity blindness' is the cause of our inability to perceive potential and to experience how to participate fully in the Great Work. Volume Two (this book) examines the properties of multi-termed systems, using FactValue as Dyad, Being as Tetrad and Spirit as Pentad. Spirit is postulated as the fulfillment of potentialities, thus becoming, of necessity, hazardous. John G Bennett was a writer, mathematician, scientist, linguist, explorer, mystic, philosopher, visionary and teacher. For over forty years he wrote and revised the work which was finally published as The Dramatic Universe. Among the remarkable people influencing Bennett's life over this span of time were Peter and Sophia Ouspensky, George Gurdjieff, Muhammed Subuh, the Shiva Puri Baba, Reverend Father Dalle, Idries Shah and Hasan Shushud. Making his own synthesis, Bennett was enabled in the last four years of his life to share his extraordinary wealth of teaching with the many students attracted to his International Academy for Continuous Education. Talking on subjects relating to the structure and pattern of The Dramatic Universe, he gradually led his students to a profound - indeed previously unexplored revelation of the future.
