The New York Society for General Semantics, in partnership with the Institute of General Semantics, is proud to announce the second edition of our Non-Aristotelian Reading Circle. All are welcome to join! Are you new to general semantics? Are you a seasoned scholar, practitioner, or intellectually curious individual? Our meetings will be held virtually, via Zoom, on Tuesday nights from 7pm until 9pm EST. We encourage those with experience in general semantics thinking to bring along friends and colleagues new to the discipline in order to expand our reach.

The Non-Aristotelian Reading Circle is proud to debut with a classic from the library of general semantics works. Beginning March 22, 2022, registered participants will join members of the New York Society for General Semantics and the Institute of General Semantics for a reading of Wendell Johnson’s “People in Quandaries: The Semantics of Personal Adjustment.” The reading circle will conduct a total of six discussions covering the book’s 18 chapters, across the following schedule:

March 22nd - Part I: People in Quandaries & Part II: Scientific Living
