- KORZYBSKI, Alfred (Habdank Skarbek)
(1879-1950)
Polish-born aristocrat (a count) sent after WWI to the USA as an artillery expert. He remained, and wrote a quasiphilosophical text, Science and Sanity (1933), which became the basic handbook of the GENERALSEMANTICS movement, later to prove so influential on the writer A.E. VAN VOGT. With the support of a Chicago millionaire, AK set up the Institute of General Semantics in 1938.
