War Between Mentalism and Behaviorism,
By KEVIN MARCH (JUNEAU, ALASKA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The War Between Mentalism and Behaviorism: On the Accessibility of Mental Processes (Scientific Psychology Series) (Hardcover)
What a wonderful book! William R. Uttal provides an excellent outline for a new behaviorism that is not only modern but also purely scientific. Cognitive psychology is nothing but theoretical pseudoscientific junk. The author proves that there is a real need for a scientific psychology, something that is based upon the scientific method. There to many theories of mind out there, none of which can be verified empirically and scientifically and the result is worthless garbage that helps no one. A psychophysical behaviorism is certainly the way to go, to bring science and not conjecture into modern psychology. Scientists can not observe cognitive process; such processes are not accessible. So why should we rely on introspection to lead us astray? I do disagree that neuroreductionistic methods are of no help. Science will eventually be able to identify neural processes involved with behavior, maybe not at this point in time but with new technology evolving scientists may be able to accurately pinpoint all neural mechanisms of behavior.
