Science and Sanity: An Introduction to Non-Aristotelian Systems and General Semantics is a 1933 philosophy book written by Alfred Korzybski.
[1][2][3] Published by the Institute of General Semantics,[4] it remains in print, the sixth edition released in 2023.
[6] Korzybski argued that common natural languages are of limited value in sciences.
[9] In the book, Korzybski makes distinction between the words "insane" and "unsane".
[11] In 1948, Korzybski authorized publication of Selections from Science and Sanity after educators voiced concerns that at more than 800 pages, the full book was too bulky and expensive.
