A chapter in Modes of Explanation, 2014, pp 257-261 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract When starting on this project to explore “explanation,” I had the somewhat naive idea that perhaps there would exist one or two “homologies” (underlying samenesses) that would tie together the various conceptions of the idea of explanation that I encountered among the various sciences, humanities, and everyday life. These homologies would be in contrast to the novel solutions of which Weems writes above. In their contributions to the afterword, each of the contributing authors seems to entertain that same hope. In this, the final section of the volume, I can report success. At least to this author, a few such homologies seem to exist.
