Moderator's Note: I moved this post from the General Semantics for Beginners forum in keeping with the strict moderation of the forum. Rather than deleting the post outright, I upgraded it to a thread in the Books forum.

A book recommended by S. I. Hayakawa: books.google.com/books?id=b9-NRHuJo0MC

The dualism of Thomism and other religions that postulates the separate existence of non-material "substance" - the domain of a "soul" - accepted by Gorman (and most religious persons) gets accounted for in general semantic as the projection of intensional orientation. As such, it represents a semantic environment that has so far not been corroborated by any material evidence involving independently repeated scientific tests. Gorman and Korzybski diverge in this arena. Setting aside the judgements arising from this difference, Gorman provides a well researched and concise condensed summary of general semantics. Note Hayakawa's comments in the above link.

It's not that seeing is believing, believing is seeing,
and we're much better at believing than we are at seeing.
