The classic work by Alfred Korzybski that introduces his new discipline of general semantics, now in a sixth edition. Based on scientific method, Korzybski presents readers with the idea of non-aristotelian perspectives and systems as a parallel to non-newtonian physics and non-euclidean geometry as the basis of new ways of thinking in general to match the new understandings of our world and universe that have emerged over the past two centuries. Intended to be a system that can be used by everyone, general semantics is introduced here as a method of evaluating our surroundings, the messsages we receive from others, and our own thinking. Korzybski's intention was to provide a teachable system that would help us to make progress in human relations, to solve the social, political, and economic ills that plague humanity, and to help us in everyday life.

Selections from Science and Sanity represents Alfred Korzybski's authorized abridgement of his magnum opus, Science and Sanity: An Introduction to Non-Aristotelian Systems and General Semantics. This second edition, published in response to the recent Korzybski revival, adds new introductory material and a revised index, providing an accessible introduction to Korzybski's arguments concerning the need for a non-Aristotelian approach to knowledge, thought, perception, and language, to coincide with our non-Newtonian physics and non-Euclidean geometries, to Korzybski's practical philosophy, applied psychology, pragmatics of human communication, and educational program. Selections from Science and Sanity serves as an excellent introduction to general semantics as a system intended to aid the individual's adjustment to reality, enhance intellectual and creative activities, and alleviate the many social ills that have plagued humanity throughout our history.

This book is primarily a study of Man and ultimately embraces all the great qualities and problems of Man. As a study of Man it takes into consideration all the characteristics which make Man what he is. If some readers do note the absence of certain expressions familiar to them, it does not mean that the author does not feel or think as many other people-he does-and very much so; but in this book an effort has been made to approach the problem of Man from a scientific-mathematical point of view, and therefore great pains have been taken not to use words insufficiently defined, or words with many meanings.

This book is based on a transcript of 14 lectures given by Alfred Korzybski at Olivet College in 1937. This 4th Edition has a newly added Foreword and Index by Corey Anton. General Semantics Seminar 1937 represents Korzybski's most accessible introduction to the discipline of general semantics.

L'ouvrage classique d'Alfred Korzybski qui introduit sa nouvelle discipline de sémantique générale, maintenant dans une sixième édition. S'appuyant sur une méthode scientifique, Korzybski présente aux lecteurs l'idée de perspectives et de systèmes non aristotéliciens parallèles à la physique non newtonienne et à la géométrie non euclidienne comme base de nouvelles façons de penser en général pour correspondre aux nouvelles compréhensions de notre monde et univers qui ont émergé au cours des deux derniers siècles. Destinée à être un système utilisable par tous, la sémantique générale est présentée ici comme une méthode d'évaluation de notre environnement, des messages que nous recevons des autres et de notre propre réflexion. L'intention de Korzybski était de fournir un système enseignable qui nous aiderait à progresser dans les relations humaines, à résoudre les maux sociaux, politiques et économiques qui affligent l'humanité et à nous aider dans la vie de tous les jours.

The Manhood of Humanity: The Science and Art of Human Engineering is a book written by Alfred Korzybski, a Polish-American philosopher and scientist. The book explores the concept of human engineering, which is the idea that humans can be engineered and improved through the application of scientific principles. Korzybski argues that humans have the ability to shape their own destiny by using their intelligence and creativity to engineer their own evolution. He proposes that the key to human engineering is to understand the nature of the human mind and how it functions. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of language, the role of education, the importance of science and technology, and the need for a new kind of morality based on scientific principles. Korzybski also discusses the concept of time-binding, which is the ability of humans to learn from the past and pass on knowledge to future generations. Overall, The Manhood of Humanity is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to think differently about the nature of humanity and our potential for growth and evolution. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, psychology, or human development.1921. This book is primarily a study of man and ultimately embraces all the great qualities and problems of man. As a study of man it takes into consideration all the characteristics which make man what he is.

Manhood of Humanity: The Science and Art of Human Engineering is a book written by Alfred Korzybski, a Polish-American philosopher and scientist. Published in 1921, the book explores the idea of human engineering, which is the process of designing and improving human behavior and social structures to create a better society. Korzybski argues that the current state of humanity is flawed and that we need to use science and technology to engineer a better future. He proposes that we can achieve this by changing the way we think and communicate, as language and symbols play a crucial role in shaping our perceptions and behavior. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of human consciousness, the role of language in shaping our reality, and the importance of education in creating a more rational and compassionate society. Korzybski also discusses the limitations of traditional religion and philosophy and emphasizes the need for a new, scientific approach to understanding human nature and society. Overall, Manhood of Humanity is a thought-provoking and influential work that has had a significant impact on fields such as psychology, linguistics, and communication studies. It remains a relevant and insightful read for anyone interested in the future of humanity and the potential for human progress through scientific and technological advancement.1921.
