Description
In this profound and profoundly controversial work, a landmark of 20th-century thought originally published in 1971, B. F. Skinner makes his definitive statement about humankind and society.
Beyond Freedom and Dignity urges us to re-examine the ideals we have taken for granted and to consider the possibility of a radically behaviourist approach to human problemsβone that has appeared to some incompatible with those ideals but which envisions the building of a world in which humankind can attain its greatest possible achievements.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Beyond Freedom and Dignity by B. F. Skinner is highly regarded for its provocative argument that traditional concepts of free will and individual autonomy are outdated. Reviewers often highlight Skinner's call for a scientific approach to human behaviour, urging the use of behavioural sciences to design a better society. Critique is sometimes directed at his deterministic view and the perceived absence of ethical considerations. Nevertheless, the book is praised for its bold ideas and its influence on the discussion of human behaviour and societal control.
