Mouritz has published scholarly editions of Alexander's books with the copyright permissions of the Estate of F. M. Alexander since 1995. The Universal Constant in Living was Alexander’s fourth and last book. It contains his most mature and consummate thoughts on his technique. Alexander shares with the reader knowledge accumulated in the course of more than 45 years of practical teaching experience. Having fully developed the concepts of his technique, he presents a clear exposition of the fundamental principles: prevention (inhibition), the primary control of use, and the unity (wholeness) of the human organism, among others. Written in the turbulent 1930s and completed in the early years of WWII, The Universal Constant in Living makes a great plea for understanding the dangers of separation in the activity of living. Alexander explains how his technique meets the urgent need for wholeness in approach and action. Furthermore, he argues that the practice of his technique provides not only freedom of thought and action, but freedom in thought and action. Alexander also presents testimonies to the practical results and principles of his technique. In an appreciation of Alexander’s work Professor George Coghill, a pioneer of developmental neurophysiology, provides support for Alexander’s concept of a primary control. The white-cover paperback books of Alexander's books contain the essential texts: they are almost identical to the last editions Alexander was responsible for in 1945–46: the complete text of the books with the forewords and introductions published at the time (for example containing Dewey’s or Coghill’s introductions, and Alexander’s forewords and Alexander’s new forewords). The Alexander Technique is a method for developing conscious use of oneself in all activities of living. F. Matthias Alexander (1869–1955) started to develop the Technique in the early 1890s in Australia. Alexander had discovered that there exists a primary control which conditions the use of the self. He showed how this control can be employed in order to develop conscious control of one’s use in daily life. He began to teach his technique in Australia in 1894, and then moved to London where he taught from 1904. In 1931 he established a course for training teachers in his technique. He wrote four books on his technique.
