This series will include monographs and collections of studies
devoted to the investigation and exploration of knowledge,
infonnation, and data-processing systems of all kinds, no matter
whether human, (other) animal, or machine. Its scope is intended to
span the full range of interests from classical problems in the
philosophy of mind and philosophical psychology through issues in
cognitive psychology and sociobiology (concerning the mental
capabilities of other species) to ideas related to artificial
intelligence and computer science. While primary emphasis will be
placed upon theoretical, conceptual, and epistemological aspects of
these problems and domains, empirical, experi mental, and
methodological studies will also appear from time to time. In the
present volume, Bruce Thyer has brought together an impressive
collection of original studies concerning philosophical aspects of
behaviorism, which continues to exert considerable influence even
in the era of the Cognitive Revolution. From its early origins and
basic principles to its analysis of verbal behavior, consciousness,
and free-will, determinism, and self-control, this work offers
something of value for everyone with a serious interest in
understanding scientific method in application to human behavior.
Indeed, as the editor remarks, behaviorism is as much a philosophy
as it is an approach to the study of behavior. The breadth and
depth of this approach receives proper representation in this work
devoted to its rich and varied philosophical legacy. J.H.F. v BA.
