内容説明
"There can be a science of behavior." So proposes behaviorist William M. Baum at the start of his unique text, "Understanding Behaviorism: Science, Behavior, and Culture". Whether readers agree or disagree with his views, a lively, critical thinking-reading experience is guaranteed. The book discusses what definition of "science" might suit a science of behavior and what "behavior" might mean for science. It also explores implications of a science of behavior for purpose, knowledge, freedom, social relationships, culture, cultural change, and public policy. "Understanding Behaviorism" is suitable for a wide audience: undergraduates, graduate students, biologists, social scientists, philosophers. Anyone who might be interested in human behavior will delight in this text. Links are made among contemporary behaviorism and philosophy, cognition, social psychology, anthropology, and evolutionary biology.
