What do evolutionary science and contextual behavioral science have
in common? Edited by David Sloan Wilson and Steven C. Hayes, this
groundbreaking book offers a glimpse into the histories of these
two schools of thought, and provides a sound rationale for their
reintegration. Evolutionary science (ES) provides a unifying
theoretical framework for the biological sciences, and is
increasingly being applied to the human-related sciences.
Meanwhile, contextual behavioral science (CBS) seeks to understand
the history and function of human behavior in the context of
everyday life where behaviors occur, and to influence behavior in a
practical sense. This volume seeks to integrate these two bodies of
knowledge that have developed largely independently. In Evolution
and Contextual Behavioral Science, two renowned experts in their
fields argue why ES and CBS are intrinsically linked, as well as
why their reintegration-or, reunification-is essential. The main
purpose of this book is to continue to move CBS under the umbrella
of ES, and to help evolutionary scientists understand how working
alongside contextual behavioral scientists can foster both the
development of ES principles and their application to practical
situations. Rather than the sequential relationship that is
typically imagined between these two schools of thought, this
volume envisions a parallel relationship between ES and CBS, where
science can best influence positive change in the real world.
