Semantics from the World of 1933
An interesting view that is not to be overlooked. As in physics, we changed our concepts from Newtonian (space and time) to Einstein or non-Newtonian (space/time). We see this in any field and some of us embrace change and see how infinite our views can still work; others of us resist knowing that there is something fundamentally wrong if we cannot put our finger on it.
Korzybski opens our minds and world to the possibilities of non-Aristotelian systems and general semantics.
“If one wishes to obtain a definite answer to Nature one must attack the question from a more general and less selfish point of view.”
M. PLANCK
