Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science

From Scienowiki

Astounding Science Fiction May 1950 cover (american edition)

Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science by L. Ron Hubbard is the original article published in Astounding Science Fiction (cover date May 1950) published to immediately precede the release of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health that introduced Dianetics. Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science covers how Hubbard defined the reactive mind and developed the procedures to get rid of it. In England, this article was published in the June issue[1]. In 1955, the article was expanded into a book of the same name (Bridge Publications, ISBN 1-4031-0538-3; not to be confused with the larger and more well-known book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health). The publication includes Hubbard's account of the reasoning behind, and development of, Dianetics, more so than its "sister volumes" DMSMH and Dianetics: The Original Thesis (aka The Dynamics of Life).

[edit] Terminology

From September 1955 edition book changed several terms in the original edition, to keep with "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" terminology. For example, the word "norn" changed to "engram"[2]. In Norse Mythology, Norn was name for goddesses of Fate: Skuld (the Future), Verdaude (the Present) and Urd (the Past). They controlled Man's destiny and made him follow a course of conduct nolens volens.
