Popis: | From the beginning of philosophical interest in laws and explanation, the emphasis was on laws as playing a fundamental role in explanations. This was evident in Aristotle (if one understands that his reference to four kinds of causes should be understood as his interest in four kinds of explanations.) In our time, the emphasis was very clear in C. Hempel and P. Oppenheim’s seminal essay (Cf. Chap. 1). |
