Logical behaviorism

Logical behaviorism (also known as analytical behaviorism)[1] is a theory of mind that mental concepts can be explained in terms of behavioral concepts.[2]

Logical behaviorism was first stated by the Vienna Circle, especially Rudolf Carnap.[2] Other philosophers with sympathies for behaviorism included C. G. Hempel, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and W. V. O. Quine (1960).[2][3] A more moderate form of analytical behaviorism was put forward by the Oxford philosopher Gilbert Ryle in his book The Concept of Mind (1949).[4][2]
