This book is based on a transcript of 14 lectures given by Alfred Korzybski at Olivet College in 1937. This 4th Edition has a newly added Foreword and Index by Corey Anton. General Semantics Seminar 1937 represents Korzybski's most accessible introduction to the discipline of general semantics. It introduces people to basic concepts within general semantics, offers practical advice on managing interpersonal relationships, gives countless insights into the nature of language and abstraction, and offers Korzybski's "Extensional Theory of Happiness."
