Beyond Freedom and Dignity
B. F. Skinner
This controversial landmark book argues that traditional notions of freedom and dignity must be revised in order to effectively solve modern societal problems. Basing his arguments on extensive research into behavior, Skinner proposes we focus on changing the physical and social environments in which people live in order to achieve our ideal of freedom and dignity. This thought-provoking work challenges us to reexamine our assumptions and consider a radically behaviorist approach to solving human problems.
