More about the book
Challenging traditional views, B. F. Skinner presents a radical rethinking of freedom and dignity, arguing that societal problems stem from outdated concepts of autonomy. He emphasizes that understanding human behavior requires focusing on the interplay between genetics and personal history, rather than mental states. Skinner advocates for transforming our physical and social environments to foster genuine progress, proposing a behaviorist approach that reexamines long-held ideals. This work encourages a deeper exploration of how to achieve true human potential through environmental change.
