Burrhus Frederic Skinner (1904-1990) was an American psychologist, social philosopher,and author. He was a Professor of Psychology at Harvard University from 1958 until his retirement in 1974, and perhaps the most influential behaviorist of the 20th century. His most famous books are Verbal Behavior, Beyond Freedom & Dignity and Walden Two.
Here are some representative quotations from the book:
"To what extent is it helpful to be told, ‘He drinks because he is thirsty’? If to be thirsty means nothing more than to have a tendency to drink, this is mere redundancy. If it means that he drinks because of a state of thirst, an inner causal event is invoked. If this state is purely inferential … it cannot serve as an explanation." (Pg. 33)
"Trait-names begin as adjectives–‘intelligent,’ ‘aggressive,’ ‘disorganized,’… and so on… But at no point in such a series do we make contact with any event outside the behavior itself which justifies the claim of a causal connection." (Pg. 202)
"We cannot account for suicide as a simple response… No one jumps into a brook to bring his life to an end because the same behavior had a similar consequence in the past… Fortunately we need not decide this issue to make the present point." (Pg.
