Laws and Explanations; Theories and Modal Possibilities

Viac o knihe

The book presents a dual exploration of laws and accidental generalizations, starting with a critical review of classical theories and introducing a novel framework for distinguishing between the two. It emphasizes that any explanation of a contingent generalization confirms its non-accidental nature. The second part delves into further implications and applications of this new account, expanding on its significance in understanding scientific explanations and the nature of generalizations.
