Hello,
I have discovered by chance “Science and Sanity” and Alfred Korzybski quite recently and this book has changed my conception of reality. I would like to dig further into that revolutionary matter and I wonder whether it could constitute an alternative to our current way of thinking. I am particularly interested in multiplexing knowledge coming from different areas, science, epistemology, philosophy, trying to find, in the “interference” patterns, some new directions to think. Currently I have found some very interesting bridges between Korzybski’s approach, and a quite recent theory developed by Ms Mioara Mugur-Schächter called the "Method of Relativized Conceptualisation" and the infra Quantum Mechanics, the Martin Heidegger's Interpretation of Kant and especially his book “Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics” and finally a short essay of Jean-Paul Sartre called “l’imaginaire”. I would like to know if a similar approach has been made already. Thanks a lot in advance for your reply.
NB: Sorry for my frenglish…
