Manhood of Humanity: The Science and Art of Human Engineering (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162626673)

The Manhood of Humanity: The Science and Art of Human Engineering is a book written by Alfred Korzybski, a Polish-American philosopher and scientist. The book explores the concept of human engineering, which is the idea that humans can be engineered and improved through the application of scientific principles. Korzybski argues that humans have the ability to shape their own destiny by using their intelligence and creativity to engineer their own evolution. He proposes that the key to human engineering is to understand the nature of the human mind and how it functions. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of language, the role of education, the importance of science and technology, and the need for a new kind of morality based on scientific principles. Korzybski also discusses the concept of time-binding, which is the ability of humans to learn from the past and pass on knowledge to future generations. Overall, The Manhood of Humanity is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to think differently about the nature of humanity and our potential for growth and evolution. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, psychology, or human development.1921.
