Reviewers have characterized Paul Naour's A Dialogue Between
Sociobiology and Radical Behaviorism, which includes brief
introductions by E.O. Wilson and B.F. Skinner's elder daughter,
Julie Vargus, as an idea book. The work will undoubtedly have a
significant academic market and provide students and scholars in
biology, ethology, psychology, anthropology, sociology and
economics a strong foundation in twentieth century history and
systems. Praise for A Dialogue Between Sociobiology and Radical
Behaviorism: - E.O. Wilson says of the book: ". . . excellent, an
outstanding addition to the history of ideas. It will put Fred
Skinner back in the pantheon and, providing context, serve as an
excellent introduction to the content and central truths in radical
behaviorism. Needless to say, I'm also grateful to have my work
following Sociobiology given proper attention." -David Sloan
Wilson, author of Darwin's Cathedral writes: "E.O. Wilson and B.F.
Skinner agreed that the human capacity for change is both a product
of genetic evolution and an evolutionary process in its own right.
Yet, the paradigms of sociobiology and radical behaviorism went in
very different directions. Paul Naour's insightful analysis of a
taped conversation between Wilson and Skinner goes beyond the
historical significance of the conversation and helps to integrate
the two paradigms for the future." -Carl Haywood writes: "The
present question is whether evolution by natural selection is a
useful set of concepts for the development of psychology. Naour's
proposed confluence of radical behaviorism and sociobiology
suggests not only that it is, but also that radical behaviorism
shares with sociobiology a debt and an allegiance to Darwinism."
