| Summary |
"B. F. Skinner of Harvard University is considered by many in the field to have made the most important contribution to psychology in our time. In this dialogue, Dr. Evans (Professor of Psychology at the University of Houston) is able to elicit a remarkable degree of candor from Professor Skinner in answer to questions about his work and his ideas. Among the many topics covered are the famous teaching machines invented by Skinner, his views on Freud and Marx, and his notion of how men might be "programmed" for peace rather than war. In addition, Professor Skinner provides a rebuttal to criticisms of his important and controversial utopian novel, Walden Two." -- Back cover. |
