The origins of the idea of eternal recurrence in the Russian philosophical system of P.D. Ouspensky

The theory of reincarnation, which arose at the dawn of human civilization, today is practically unrecognizable in its numerous interpretations that have appeared due to the plurality of its translations and copying. P.D. Ouspensky was a follower of the most ancient interpretation of this theory, the main idea of which is reincarnation to the same life, based on the idea of cyclicity. This idea formed the basis for his proof of the fourth and other dimensions, which in turn gave rise to the development of science and art of the late XIX -early XX centuries.
