The Open Self by Charles Morris is a philosophical and psychological exploration of the concept of the self. Morris argues that the self is not a fixed entity, but rather an open and dynamic process that is constantly evolving and shaped by our experiences and interactions with the world around us. Drawing on insights from a range of disciplines, including psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience, Morris explores the nature of consciousness, the role of language in shaping our sense of self, and the relationship between the individual and society. He also examines the ways in which our understanding of the self has evolved over time, from ancient philosophical ideas to modern psychological theories. Ultimately, Morris offers a compelling case for the importance of embracing an open and flexible approach to selfhood, one that allows for growth, change, and adaptation in the face of life's challenges and opportunities. The Open Self is a thought-provoking and insightful read for anyone interested in the nature of human consciousness and the complexities of the self.

Charles R. Morris's The Trillion Dollar Meltdown (2008) was the first book to warn of the impending financial crash in all its horrific scale and speed. Now, with Comeback , Morris reveals that the United States is on the brink of a strong recovery that could last for twenty years or more. The great economic boom times in American history have come because of fortuitous discoveries. Natural resources (coal first, then oil) fueled vast economic and industrial expansions, which in turn helped create and supply new markets. The last genuine economic game changer was the technology boom of the 1990s, which gave the U. S. a global competitive advantage for a while based on electronics and silicon. One of the first writers and analysts in the U. S. to predict that the tech boom would lead to a period of sustained economic growth was Charles Morris. In defiance of the recessionary times (in 1990), he saw the coming boom. Now, in 2013, he sees the threshold of another. This time the gift is natural gas. The amount and distribution of gas in American shale is so vast that it has the potential to transform the manufacturing economy, creating jobs across the country, and requiring a new infrastructure that will benefit the nation as a whole. Because of fracking, jobs that once would have been outsourced abroad will return home, America can become a net exporter of energy, and cheap energy will provide the opportunity for innovation and competition. In light of this new opportunity, and other complementary developments Morris explores in this book, the U. S. ought to be approaching the future with a robust self-confidence it has not experienced in a while. But we could fumble it away. The gold-rush style of shale boom companies does not make them good neighbours. A counter-reaction could put their industry, and the new era of national prosperity, at risk. We also have a political system that has the capacity to spoil the benefits of this huge boon. If the wealth locked in the continental shelf is not shared for the general economic good, but is instead exploited in short-term profiteering, then many of the opportunities that exist will be choked off by a few very rich corporations. Managing the great bonus of the vast store of cheap energy is going to become a defining political challenge in the years ahead. At the threshold of a thrilling opportunity, Morris is a brilliantly perceptive guide.

Signs, Language and Behavior is a book written by Charles Morris, a renowned American philosopher and semiotician. The book explores the fundamental relationship between signs, language, and behavior, and how they interact to create meaning in human communication. Morris argues that signs are the basic building blocks of communication, and that language is a system of signs that humans use to convey meaning. He also discusses the role of behavior in communication, and how it can be used to reinforce or contradict the messages conveyed by language. The book is divided into three main sections. The first section provides an overview of the basic concepts of semiotics, including signs, symbols, and codes. The second section focuses on language as a system of signs, and explores the different ways in which language can be used to convey meaning. The final section of the book looks at the relationship between language and behavior, and how they interact in human communication. Morris argues that behavior can be used to reinforce or contradict the messages conveyed by language, and that understanding this relationship is essential for effective communication. Overall, Signs, Language and Behavior is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the fundamental concepts of semiotics, and their role in human communication. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the study of language, communication, and human behavior.
