Walter Truett Anderson (born February 27, 1933) is an American political scientist, social psychologist, and author of numerous non-fiction books and articles in newspapers and magazines.

In his public lectures, he frequently speculates that, if we had a history of every advanced species in the universe, we would find that they all had to pass through two large, difficult and unavoidable transitions:  accepting conscious responsibility for the future of all life on their planets, and recognizing that their systems of symbolic communication—such as language and mathematics—don’t merely describe reality, but participate in creating it.
