内容説明
Offering a discussion of some of the main historical attempts to explain the concept of explanation, this book examines the works of Plato, Aristotle, John Stuart Mill, and Carl Hempel. Building on and developing the insights of these historical figures, the author introduces an elaboration and defense of his own solution. Not content to confine the concept of explanation to the realm of philosophy of science, he examines it within a far more broadly conceived theory of knowledge, and concludes with his own original and challenging explanation of explanation.
