Abstract:

This work is devoted to such a philosophical trend as naturalism, which considers nature as a universal principle of explaining everything that exists. In naturalism, a direction of behaviorism appears, which studies a systematic approach to the study of the behavior of humans and animals. Representatives of this direction are B.F. Skinner and C.S. Lashley. Also in the direction of naturalism worked K.Ts. Lorenz and Z. Freud, who studied the problem of co-evolution of the human psyche and culture. First of all, they set themselves the goal of studying from a scientific point of view the occurrence of aggressive behavior.
