Green York University, Toronto, Ontario (Return to Classics index) The Reflex Arc Concept in Psychology John Dewey (1896) First published in Psychological Review, 3, 357-370. That the greater demand for a unifying principle and controlling working hypothesis in psychology should come at just the time when all generalizations and classifications are most questioned and questionable is natural enough.

In criticising this conception it is not intended to make a plea for the principles of explanation and classification which the reflex arc idea has replaced; but, on the contrary, to urge that they are not sufficiently displaced, and that in the idea of the sensori-motor circuit, conceptions of the nature of sensation and of action derived from the nominally displaced psychology are still in control.

But this book arguing for a materialist view of evolution where random chance produces the marvelous variety of life we know, just didn't hold water for me. I have been a science buff since childhood, and have read all kinds of science across the board. For me this was not science, it was a biased scientist putting forth an agenda based on a weak thesis and a weak argument.

I am not some sort of Christian "intelligent designer" (read "creationist"), but I also don't believe in a purely random material universe. There are mysteries to the universe that scientists don't even begin to address, but which philosophy always has. If science ignores basic philosophical questions, then it does not deserve to be called "science. " Questions: Where did everything come from? How could "something" come from "nothing"? How could "everything" have always existed? We appear to be successful because we seem to dominate the Earth. So Gould lost me on this one....
