- Title
John Snow's Behaviorsphere.
- Authors
Jardim, João
- Abstract
The near-legendary narratives of the scientific achievements of John Snow, a pioneer English epidemiologist who famously identified the source of the London's Broad Street pump cholera epidemic in 1854, has a behavioral facet which has not been duly explored by historians of public health. In this article, the story of Snow's investigations into the case of the infamous water pump is used as a backdrop to highlight the disciplinary continuum of psychological and biological events, according to the perspective of J.R. Kantor's philosophy of interbehaviorism.
