The Philosophical Legacy of Behaviorism , edited by Bruce A. Thyer, is a set of original contributions, each dealing, from a behavioral stance, with one of the following major topics of philosophy: epistemology, ethics, consciousness, language, free will and determinism, and self‐control. Confusions about radical behaviorism and its similarities to, and differences from, other behavioral and non‐behavioral approaches are described in the book, which provides a state‐of‐the‐art description of the philosophical underpinnings of behavior analysis.
