Mapping Human Nature

Bennett's pioneering attempts to flesh out a structural map of human nature with the shared experience of his summer school class at Coombe Springs is persuasive in terms of the sheer clarity and handling of data alone -- psychology as an empirical discipline is harmonized with spirituality, Christian theology, Gurdjieff's study of man, Jungian thought, the child and developmental psychology of Piaget, and the largely ineffable experience of Subud. Still this is no grand theory so much as a work-in-progress exploration, which gives an open-ended sense to the reader's involvement as well. Some of the best insights here are mentioned seemingly quite casually, and each reading of this book seems somehow more surprising than the first. I should think this would be valuable research, not only to those involved in Gurdjieff studies or Subud, but also to students of psychology or spirituality in general. Somehow, I doubt that will ever be.
