Synopsis "Walden two"

A reprint of the 1976 Macmillan edition.

This fictional outline of a modern utopia has been a center of controversy ever since its publication in 1948. Set in the United States, it pictures a society in which human problems are solved by a scientific technology of human conduct.

B. F. Skinner

View Author's Page

B. F. Skinner was an influential American psychologist and writer, considered one of the central figures of behaviorism. He authored fundamental works in the field of experimental psychology and learning theory, such as Science and Human Behavior (1953), Beyond Freedom and Dignity (1971), and About Behaviorism (1974). He also ventured into fiction with Walden Two (1948), a utopian novel based on his behaviorist ideas. All the works mentioned are confirmed as his authorship.

His production is mainly in the genre of scientific essay and psychological dissemination, with key contributions in the analysis of operant behavior. Although he was widely recognized in his lifetime for his academic work, including memberships in institutions such as the National Academy of Sciences of the USA, he did not receive literary awards. His legacy endures as one of the pillars of psychological thought of the 20th century.
