| Abstract: |
In "Manhood of Humanity," Korzybski responds to popular, scholastic definitions of humanity and in doing so, crafts a counter-narrative as coherent as it is radical in its departure from extant norms. In its reading of "Manhood of Humanity" as an identity project, this article argues that Korzybski's is not an addition to the agglutinative definitions of human subjectivity popular in his times. Rather, the text performatively creates the conditions for the break he envisions humanity to make from past traditions, through the constitution of the identity project he constructs around it.
