Many of the problems faced by the world today can only be solved if we improve our understanding of human behavior. I think it is fair to say that the traditional views that have prevailed for centuries have proven inadequate. They are largely responsible for the situation we find ourselves in now.
Behaviorism offers a hopeful alternative, and I wrote this book in an effort to clarify its position. The book you hold in your hands provides you with the best possible introduction to the philosophy of the science known as radical behaviorism and analyzes how this philosophy provides the truly most beneficial foundation for the experimental analysis and scientific interpretation of the entire spectrum of psychological phenomena, from perception and cognition to scientific creative thinking itself.
B. F. Skinner, the founder of the modern behavioral approach, wrote "About Behaviorism" for the thoughtful, but not necessarily specialized reader in psychology. His study offers a progressively more comprehensive and practically robust understanding of our own selves and how the views, interpretations, and ways in which we solve problems are continually shaped through our interactions with other people and with other events of the natural world.
