PUTTING THE METHOD TO WORK . . . . . . . . . . . . . General semantics

Chapter

ABSTRACT

The field or discipline of general semantics occupies itself with facts (in the real world) and abstractions (in the mind). It seeks to impose orderly thought processes on the relationships of these in order to allow its practitioners to better predict and cope with situations that arise in the real world.

PUTTING THE METHOD TO WORK . . . . . . . . . . . . . General semantics is concerned with the maintenance of external facts (“out there”) and internal abstractions (“in here”) on a current basis so that the practitioner may invest and live more efficiently
