Abstract

Argumenta-se neste ensaio que o behaviorismo radical não apoia nenhum destes pressupostos do discurso moderno: fundacionismo na epistemologia, representacionismo na linguagem e as metanarrativas do progresso do Ocidente. Argumenta-se ainda que o behaviorismo radical é solidário com estas tendências do discurso pós-moderno: pragmatismo epistemológico, anti-representacionismo na linguagem e dissolução das metanarrativas do progresso científico, social, político e cultural do Ocidente. Sugere-se, finalmente, que o pensamento de Skinner rompe decisivamente com o discurso moderno e aproxima-se do discurso pós-moderno.In this essay it is argued that radical behaviorism does not support any of the following tenets of modern discourse: foundationism in epistemology, representationism in language and metanarratives of Western progress. It is argued that radical behaviorism is linked to the following tendencies of post-modern discourse: epistemological pragmatism, anti-representacionism in language and the dissolution of the metanarratives of scientific, social, cultural and political progress of the West. Finally, it is suggested that Skinner's thought constitutes a decisive break with modern discourse in psychology, and is allied to post-modern discourse.
