Newly Published Work // Essay on “New” Alfred Korzybski Transcript

Just now coming out is a new essay of mine published in ETC: A Review of General Semantics, Volume 68, Number 2. The essay–titled “Introduction to ‘Difficulties in Learning to Apply General Semantics'”–is a companion piece to a transcript I edited of a recording of Alfred Korzybski from 1947.
