Alfred Korzybski’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Alfred Korzybski was born in the Year of the Rabbit. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Rabbit enjoy being surrounded by family and friends. They’re popular, compassionate, sincere, and they like to avoid conflict and are sometimes seen as pushovers. Rabbits enjoy home and entertaining at home. Compatible with Goat or Pig.
Remembered for his foundational work in the philosophical and cognitive science field of general semantics, this early twentieth-century scholar coined the famous phrase "the map is not the territory" to describe his theory that representations of reality do not themselves constitute reality.
After studying engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology, he served in the Russian Army as a World War I-era intelligence officer. He published his debut philosophical work, Manhood of Humanity, in the early 1920s.
He founded and headed the Institute of General Semantics, which operated out of Chicago, Illinois, until the mid-1940s, at which point it transferred its headquarters to Lakeville, Connecticut.
He grew up in an affluent and highly educated family in Warsaw, Poland. He later settled in the United States and began a more than three-decade marriage to portrait Painter Mira Edgerly.
In the late 1930s, American Beat Generation author william S. Burroughs , then only twenty-five years old, attended one of Korzybski's general semantics workshops.
