Bunzl argues that any  successful account of explanation must deal with two very different  contexts - one static and one dynamic. Traditionally, theories of  explanation have been built for the former of these two contexts. That  is to say, they are designed to show how it is that a 'finished' body  of scientific knowledge can be put to explanatory use. But finished  sciences are few and far between. Real 'explanation' also occurs in a  dynamical context in which questions are asked and answers are given  as theories are in the process of being constructed. Here, Bunzl  argues that attending to explanation produced under these dynamic  circumstances undermines prominent features of the theory of  explanation produced in the traditional static context.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401047609\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-1735-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 223cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 164\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398504902796,"sku":"9789401047609","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401047609.jpg?v=1772024796","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401047609","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
