[From Rick Marken (920506)]
Ken Hacker [920504] says:
Rick's comments about the riots stimulated me to think
of how two extremes of explaining human behavior are both false. One says
that people are determined by external factors (behaviorism, cultural
studies). The other says that people are purely determined by internal
factors (cognitivism, some approaches to perception).
I have just completed a short paper that speaks to this point -- why
there exist such different views of the causes of behavior. The
paper is called "The blind men and the elephant: Three different
perspectives on the phenomenon of control". It is based on something I
posted to CSG-L a couple months ago. It is a very short paper but I
think I should post it to the listserver so people can access it if they
want -- and not clog up everyone's mailboxes.
So, Gary (or anyone) -- how do I make my paper available to people
who want to read it?
I plan to send it to a journal soon -- but I would appreciate any
comments or questions on it before I do so.
Regards
Rick
