Abstract
In what is, broadly speaking, the materialist trend of thought in modern times, Behaviorists are the most radical. They deny that the mind is a thing at all, and so deny a fortiori that it is a spiritual thing. If the mind is not a thing at all, there can be no problem of how the thing which is a mind relates to the body or anything else. Behaviorism is more a dissolution than a solution of the Mind-Body problem as we have posed it.
