Description:Alfred Habdank Skarbek Korzybski ([kɔˈʐɨpski]; 7/3/1879–3/1/1950) was a Polish-American philosopher & scientist. He's remembered for developing the theory of general semantics. Korzybski's work argued that knowledge of the world is limited both by the human nervous system & by the structure of language. Korzybski thought that people don't have access to direct knowledge of reality; rather they have access to perceptions & to a set of beliefs which society has confused with direct knowledge of reality. Korzybski is remembered as the author of the dictum: "The map is not the territory". His 1st book, Manhood of Humanity, was published in 1921. In it he proposed & detailed a new theory of humankind: humanity as a "time-binding" class of life (humans perform time binding by the transmission of knowledge & abstractions thru time which are accreted in cultures).We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
