“Principles for the Unification of the Behavioral Science”
Herbert Gintis, Ph.D. of the Santa Fe Institute
The various behavioral sciences have several conflicting models of decision-making and strategic interaction. The failure to adjudicate and resolve the discrepancies among these models indicates a serious breech of the scientific method. Each of these models is seriously flawed, but all can be modified to produce a unified framework for the behavioral sciences.
