Alfred Korzybski
The articles on this site are based on my interpretation of what I have read of Alfred Korzybski and others. My intent is to help others — and myself — apply the principles of general semantics to modify our habitual ways of thinking-behaving and improve our human understanding and relationships.
The following is a list of published and unpublished essays and handouts, organized by topic.
