• W137297414 abstract "Toward Saner World In his seminal book Science and Sanity, Alfred Korzybski, on page xxxvii wrote: Science and Sanity: An Introduction to Non-Aristotelian Systems and General Semantics, ... was intended to be textbook showing how in modern scientific methods we can find factors of sanity to be tested empirically. The main goal of general semantics study-and-practice is development of 'consciousness of abstracting' toward increasing sanity in the way we manage our personal and human affairs. We can train ourselves in of through practicing Conscious abstracting involves practicing being attentive to whatever is going on, in and around us. Being more attentive, provides opportunities to change, modify, correct, improve, stop, etc., whatever we happen to catch ourselves thinking, feeling, imagining, saying, and Since success (whatever our goals whatever we do), depends on the quality of our thinking, planning, decision, etc., we could think of consciousness of abstracting and general semantics practice as a general behavioral paradigm for improving anything we do--including improving ourselves. of abstracting can also be thought of as proposition, and appeal: if you want to become more intelligent, wiser, saner, more gracious, human being. If you want to become more intelligent, wiser, saner, more gracious, more creative human being Practice is being conscious of abstracting. Consciousness of abstracting--a master principle of general semantics--is label for seemingly simple, but quite profound self-reflecting-self-correcting-critical-thinking-time-binding operation. of abstracting involves remembering that: We cannot sense, think, imagine, understand, know, say, do, all about anything--including ourselves (principle of non-allness). In recognizing, remembering, and behaving from the standard we cannot know all, we do not identify (treat as being the same) our thoughts, feelings, opinions, beliefs, ideas, theories, etc., as being the same as (no different from) what they are about (principle of nonidentity). In applying the principles of non-allness and non-identity to modify our behaviors, we remember to include ourselves as agents-subjects playing important parts in our abstractions-evaluations. We can apply general semantics principles as standards, and tools to modify the ways we think-feel about things; and to help us make more sense of anything--including our notions of objectivity, meaning, and truth. From applying these principles to our abstracting and abstractions, Korzybski arrived at of evaluation, theory of values, theory of psychotherapy, theory of knowledge, and 'epistemology. These theories provide foundations for us to pursue ways to improve the level of intelligence in our interactions and relationships in dealing with our human affairs, at personal, societal, ecological, and international levels. On and of Our beliefs, decisions, policies, institutions, and actions emerging from our uncritical notions of and contribute great deal to our increasingly unsane, confused, and violent human world. Abstracting (what we do) and abstractions (consequences) are general semantics terms for our sensing, experiencing, thinking, feeling, doing, planning, deciding, talking, imagining, hoping, desiring, expectations, beliefs, values, notions of knowledge, meaning and truth, and so on. In abstracting, we select and we leave out. (Think of the function of sieve or strainer.) We do what we do mainly non-self-consciously--but we can train ourselves to be more aware that in our doings, we select and leave out great deal. From training ourselves to be more attentive, and to be conscious that we abstract, we develop heuristic approach: We do what we do to discover what we are doing. …" @default.
