Our lives, states of health, relationships, behaviour, experiences
of the natural world, and the technologies that shape our
contemporary existence are subject to a superfluity of competing,
multi-faceted and sometimes incompatible explanations. Widespread
confusion about the nature of 'explanation' and its scope and
limits pervades popular exposition of the natural sciences, popular
history and philosophy of science. This fascinating and intriguing
book explores the way explanations work, why they vary between
disciplines, periods, and cultures, and whether they have any
necessary boundaries. In other words, Explanations aims to achieve
a better understanding of explanation, both within the sciences and
the humanities. It features contributions from expert writers from
a wide range of disciplines, including science, philosophy,
mathematics, and social anthropology.
