ANALYTICAL OR LOGICAL BEHAVIORISM WHAT DOES MENTALITY MEAN? x Analytical or logical behaviorism is a theory within philosophy about the meaning or semantics(语义学) of mental terms or concepts. It says that the very idea of a mental state or condition is the idea of a behavioral disposition or family of behavioral tendencies, evident in how a person behaves in one situation rather than another when we attribute a belief. for example, to someone, we are not saying that he or she is in a particular internal state or condition. Instead, we are characterizing the person in terms of what he or she might do in particular situations or environmental interactions. Analytical behaviorism may be found in the work of gilbert Ryle(1900 76) and the later work of Ludwig Wittgenstein(1889-51)(if perhaps not without controversy in interpretation, in Wittgenstein's case).ANALYTICAL OR LOGICAL BEHAVIORISM WHAT DOES MENTALITY MEAN?  Analytical or logical behaviorism is a theory within philosophy about the meaning or semantics (语义学) of mental terms or concepts.
