An interesting article from American Prospect magazine concerning BF Skinner, one of the most famous psychologists. Like the author Robert Wright, my at first ardent agreement with Skinners behaviourist theories on human behaviour have waxed and waned due to their reductionist conclusions - though I still admire what Wright refers to as his anti-intellectual intellectualism. As usual, the comments following the article make also make for interesting reading.
Enjoy.
