Science and Sanity: An Introduction to Non-Aristotelian Systems and General Semantics is a 1933 philosophy book written by Alfred Korzybski.[1][2]

Korzybski argued that common natural languages are of limited value in sciences.[3] He wanted to help humankind to create better languages to handle reality.[4] He advocated for the necessity of more rigor in both math and physics.[5]

The book argues for the use of non-Aristotelian logic in the sciences.[1] Korzybski was accused of being anti-Aristotle.[2]
