"In this volume, Corey Anton and Lance Strate have carefully
crafted a collection of comparisons of Korzybski's thoughts to
other key philosophers and their ideas. Media, semiotics,
imagination, rational thought, cultural studies, and cyberculture
are only a sample of the many stimulating topics that come to life
in this book...With freshness and vision, this edited collection
takes us on a thought-provoking journey connecting us to the
essence of Korzybski's contribution. I found it to be a thoroughly
enjoyable read."
-Karen Lollar Ph.D.

"The collection of essays contained within this book represent a
gallant and exquisite attempt to backtrack, as well as to sidetrack
and track ahead, and show how Alfred Korzybski's enterprise is
indeed aligned not only with various strains and traditions in
academic thought and scholarship, but with the work of a host of
significant theorists from across the disciplines. As such Corey
Anton, Lance Strate, and their contributors have done a great
service to Korzybski's legacy, and to the continuation and
expansion of general semantics as both an applied and a theoretical
system. They have positioned Korzybski and his work as a locus,
rather than an outlier."
-Thom Gencarelli, Manhattan College
"Corey Anton and Lance Strate have assembled a 'wild variety' of 16
erudite essays demonstrating the past, present and continuing
influence and relevance of Korzybskian general semantics. Academic
specialists from diverse fields explore the "connections,
intersections, and divergences" between general semantics and
assorted topics ranging from phenomenology to psychotherapy to
philosophy; from Heinlein to Hayakawa to Heidegger; from matters of
time and temporality to the nature of human happiness. "Korzybski
And ..." is a collection not to be missed, an example of
time-binding at its finest."
-Jacqueline Rudig, IGS Past Vice-President
