Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. All people desire to know. We want to not only know what has happened, but also why it happened, how it happened, whether it will happen again, whether it can be made to happen or not happen, and so on. In short, what we want are explanations. Asking and answering explanatory questions lies at the very heart of scientific practice. The primary aim of this book is to help readers understand how science explains the world. This book explores the nature and contours of scientific explanation, how such explanations are evaluated, as well as how they lead to knowledge and understanding. As well as providing an introduction to scientific explanation, it also tackles misconceptions and misunderstandings, while remaining accessible to a general audience with little or no prior philosophical training. Explanation is a key aim of science. We seek to explain the world around us because doing so allows us to come to know about the world and to better understand it. This book explores the nature and contours of scientific explanation and how they lead to knowledge and understanding. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9781316518175
