Collected Writings, 1920-1950Institute of GS, 1990 - 915 pages ALFRED KORZYBSKI (1879-1950), a pioneering giant in the intellectual world over three decades, was a forerunner in emphasizing many of the issues only now receiving wide recognition (for example, psychological consequences of the "new" physics, impact of neuro-linguistic & neuro-semantic terminology & awareness, psychosomatic non-separation, the importance of the structure of language in skewing our perceptions & communications, the powerful life implications of paradigm shifts, etc.). These COLLECTED WRITINGS, brought together for the first time, photographed from the originals where feasible, reveal the evolution of his work since its beginnings in 1920. They show the process that led from his "Manhood of Humanity" (1921) to "Science & Sanity; An Introduction to Non-Aristotelian Systems & General Semantics" (1933), for which he is most widely known. The "Supplementaries" included in the collection pointedly show that after the climactic publication of "Science & Sanity," in another sense his work was just beginning. Korzybski synthesized the new trends into a system with methods through which the emerging outlooks could be learned & taught, calling his methodology "General Semantics." An indispensable "working edition" & reference guide for all those who wish to study the development not only of Korzybski's work, but also the impact of major intellectual changes in our culture during the first half of this century. Experiencing them through these pages will shed new light on present concerns. No one--scholar, student, or layman-- who is interested in how humans size up & organize their worlds, will want to be without this unfolding vision of the process of system-building. |
