Description

Explore the complexities of the philosophy of explanation with this second edition of David-Hillel Ruben's acclaimed work. Published by Routledge, this revised and expanded volume provides a deep look into how explanation functions within philosophical frameworks. This edition features substantial changes based on extensive reviews of the first edition. The author has refined and clarified his views regarding the role of laws in explanation.

Whether you are a student or a researcher, this text offers a clear and updated perspective on a fundamental topic in philosophy.
