Abstract
In a rejoinder to Rakos (1989), I discuss three inter-related problems : scientifically inappropriate reductionism, a culturally biased concept of human nature, and a bourgeois view of capitalism and socialism . I argue that these three problems result from the Cartesian (positivistic) world outlook in which the part is held to be ontologically prior to the whole, a pervasive philosophical perspective which has also retarded the development of a natural science of human behavior . In response to Rakos' pronouncement that socialism is contrary to human nature, I offer as counter evidence the revolutionary achievements of Cuba's current reform program called rectification.
