Forge, John. - Explanation, quantity and law.

Aldershot : Ashgate, 1999, Hardcover. Vii, 195p ; 23 cm. (Avebury series in philosophy). Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : very good. - Sets forth the instance view of explanation, a type of ontic conception of explanation. Examines the much-discussed problem for the received view known as the asymmetries of explanation as a starting point, then focuses directly on the shortcomings of Carl Hempel's account of scientific explanation. Works out solutions to this problem on the basis of two alternatives, and suggests a project for the theory of explanation that involves a multidisciplinary approach. Final chapters on quantity and explanation in quantum mechanics attempt to apply the theory developed earlier. Includes bibliographic references and index. ISBN 9780754610021.
