Tertium Organum

"In naming his book 'Tertium Organum' Ouspensky reveals at a stroke that astounding audacity which characterizes his thought throughout-an audacity which we are accustomed to associate with the Russian mind in all its phases. Such a title says, in effect: 'Here is a book which will reorganize all knowledge. The 'Organon' of Aristotle formulated the laws under which the subject thinks; the 'Novum Organum' of Bacon, the laws under which the object may be known; but 'The Third Canon of Thought' existed before these two, and ignorance of its laws does not justify their violation. 'Tertium Organum' shall guide and govern human thought henceforth.'"-From the Introduction.
