Science and Sanity

"Science and Sanity" is a book by Alfred Korzybski that explores the relationship between language, science, and human thought. It argues that our understanding of the world is shaped by the language we use, which can sometimes lead to misconceptions. Korzybski emphasizes the importance of a scientific approach to knowledge, promoting clear thinking and language precision to avoid confusion and miscommunication. He highlights how misinterpretations can stem from not recognizing the limitations of words and symbols, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of reality to improve both individual reasoning and societal discourse.
