Module 8
Wrap Up
Congratulations! You have now finished this tutorial on
the basics of General Semantics. Of course, there is still a lot more
that you can learn about the field, and how to apply it in your life.
For example, we have not really touched on the notion of Extensional Devices
(Korzybski, Science and Sanity, from the Introduction to the 2nd edition)
also known as the “Verbal Toolkit” (Catherine Minteer in Words and What They
Do To You). Please follow the link provided below to access this handy little
set of verbal/thought devices which will help you evaluate and respond to
situations and actions more effectively.
We hope that this tutorial has both piqued your interest and provided a
good start to your explorations. For this reason, we provide some further
readings and some online links to General Semantics-related sites.
