What distinguishes good explanations in neuroscience from bad? Carl
F. Craver constructs and defends standards for evaluating
neuroscientific explanations that are grounded in a systematic view
of what neuroscientific explanations are: descriptions of
multilevel mechanisms. In developing this approach, he draws on a
wide range of examples in the history of neuroscience (e.g. Hodgkin
and Huxleys model of the action potential and LTP as a putative
explanation for different kinds of memory), as well as recent
philosophical work on the nature of scientific explanation. Readers
in neuroscience, psychology, the philosophy of mind, and the
philosophy of science will find much to provoke and stimulate them
in this book.
