abstract:B. F. Skinner and W. V. Quine, arguably the two most influential proponents of behaviorism in mid-twentieth century psychology and philosophy, are often considered brothers in arms. They were close friends, they had remarkably parallel careers, and they both identified as behaviorists. Yet, surprisingly little is known about the relation between the two. How did Skinner and Quine develop their varieties of behaviorism? In what ways did they affect each other? And how similar are their behaviorisms to begin with? In this paper, I shed new light on the relation between Skinner and Quine by infusing the debate with a wide range of new and previously unexamined evidence from the personal and academic archives of Skinner and Quine.

斯金纳和奎因的行为主义：起源、发展和相互影响

摘要：BF Skinner 和 WV Quine，可以说是 20 世纪中叶心理学和哲学中行为主义的两个最有影响力的支持者，通常被认为是兄弟。他们是亲密的朋友，他们的职业非常相似，他们都认为自己是行为主义者。然而，令人惊讶的是，人们对两者之间的关系知之甚少。斯金纳和奎因是如何发展他们的各种行为主义的？他们在哪些方面相互影响？他们的行为主义一开始有多相似？在这篇论文中，我通过将来自斯金纳和奎因的个人和学术档案的大量新的和以前未经审查的证据注入辩论中，对斯金纳和奎因之间的关系进行了新的阐述。
