Review
From the reviews:
"‘Rethinking Explanation’ is Volume 152 of the Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science. ... The writing style of all chapters, though ‘academic’, is clear, intelligible, comparatively jargon-free for philosophy-suave readers ... . The present book ... indicate that inasmuch as all scientific/technological and humanistic knowledge domains retain a rapid expansion into all phases of society there is a great demand for modern approaches ‘to explain’." (Karl H. Wolf, International Journal of General Systems, 2008)
