This book provides a comprehensive overview of the nature of
explanations as given in both natural and social sciences. It
discusses models of explanation adopted in natural and social
sciences. The author also elaborates upon naturalistic and
anti-naturalistic views and other types of explanations such as
functional, purposive, etc in social science. The volume elaborates
upon themes like bridge principle; functional explanation;
purposive explanation; teleological explanation; prediction;
methodological individualism; methodological collectivism;
illocutionary redescription; principle of action; and dispositional
explanations, to understand whether the explanations given in the
realm of social sciences are the same or different from the
explanations that are given in the field of natural sciences. This
introductory book is a must read for students and scholars of
philosophy of science, logic, science and technology studies,
social sciences, and philosophy in general.
