Abstract

PEREZ-ALVAREZ, Marino. For a radically humane behaviorism. Acta comport. [online]. 2015, vol.23, n.1, pp. 17-23. ISSN 0188-8145.

It begins by highlighting the Theory of Behavior by Ribes and colleagues, as probably the psychological system with greater degree of scientific nature. The figure of Emilio Ribes himself is also highlighted as a total psychologist. The target article is situated in this context. It refers to the functional detachment as the property that defines the psychological behavior regarding biological behavior, involving in its analysis the quadruple Aristotelian causality, as metaphysics of behavior, beyond the current conceptions. On Aristotelian basis and taking important concepts of Theory of Behavior, a radically human behaviorism is proposed, more focused on the notion of person that on the generic notion of organism.

Keywords : functional detachment; theory of behavior; Aristotelian causes; human behaviorism.
