Alfred Korzybski
Alfred Korzybski was a Polish-American scholar who developed the field of General Semantics.
Born in 1879 to an aristocratic family, he received a diverse education in engineering, mathematics, and philosophy.
Korzybski's experiences during World War I led him to explore human knowledge and behavior.
His seminal work, "Science and Sanity," published in 1933, introduced revolutionary ideas about language, perception, and reality.
Korzybski argued that human understanding is limited by the structure of language and proposed methods to improve thinking and communication.
His work influenced various fields, including psychology, linguistics, and communication theory.
Korzybski continued to develop and teach General Semantics until his death in 1950.
