Alfred Korzybski wrote at a period when the questions philosophy asked were themselves being renegotiated.
The record lists Alfred Korzybski as Polish-American scholar and philosopher (1879–1950).
Alfred Korzybski was born at Warsaw in 1879. His recorded nationality is Poland. He studied at Emperor Nicholas II University of Technology.
Around the turn of the twentieth century philosophy split into traditions that largely stopped reading one another.
The recorded fields of work are engineering.
Philosophical influence is measured in the questions a thinker made unavoidable.
That the work was done from Poland matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Alfred Korzybski died in 1950, aged 71. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
