About the Book

"There can be a science of behavior". So proposes behaviourist William M. Baum at the start of this text. 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 behaviour and what "behaviour" might mean for science. It also explores implications of a science of behaviour 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 and philosophers. Anyone who might be interested in human behaviour should delight in this text. Links are made among contemporary behaviourism and philosophy, cognition, social psychology, anthropology and evolutionary biology.
