Explaining Explanation: Problems of Philosophy

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 noi 1992

This book introduces readers to the topic of explanation. The insights of Plato, Aristotle, J.S.

Having established its importance for understanding knowledge in general, the book concludes with a bold and original explanation of explanation.
