The chapters in this collection deal with these issues in education and counseling, social and cultural areas, critical thinking, communications, humanism, and ethics. Highlights include the Alfred Korzybski Memorial Lecture, which bridges past and present work in general semantics and applications to important current problems in media and other areas of communication. Traditional and revisionist perspectives on foundations in general semantics are presented, as are dialogues on critical thinking and general semantics.","brand":"Greenwood Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45083262156951,"sku":"9780313306136","price":9595.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780313306136.webp?v=1767263754","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/developing-sanity-in-human-affairs-9780313306136","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
