Manhood of Humanity
The Science and Art of Human Engineering
Alfred Korzybski Book order (chronological)
Alfred Korzybski was a Polish engineer, mathematician, and philosopher, most celebrated as the architect of General Semantics. His work delves into the intricate relationship between language, thought, and reality, exploring how we can refine our perception of the world through the conscious application of language. Korzybski's theories investigate how our internal representations shape our actions and how these representations can be adjusted to foster more effective communication and understanding.

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.
