THE FUNCTION OF THEORY AND SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION

Image
  As will become apparent, “scientific explanation” is a topic that raises a number of interrelated issues. Some background orientation will be useful before turning to the details of competing models. A presupposition of most recent discussion has been that science sometimes provides explanations (rather than something that falls short of explanation—e.g., “mere description”) and that the task of a “theory” or “model” of scientific explanation is to characterize the structure of such explanations.  It is thus assumed that there is (at some suitably abstract and general level of description) a single kind or form of explanation that is “scientific”. In fact, the notion of “scientific between explanations found in science and some forms of explanation found in ordinary, non￾scientific contexts. It is further assumed that it is the task of a theory of explanation to capture what is common to both scientific and some ordinary, non-scientific forms of explanation the task

However, it has received less attention from analytical philosophers than many other important ideas. The concept of race is related to race, racism, social justice and differences in health and status. Yet most philosophers who write about race are concerned with issues related to racism and social justice, and ignore other questions about the application of this concept in science and public life. However, this notion leads to a variety of philosophical questions. Race is a kind of difference within our race. Western views of species can be found in relational and hereditary views of tribes, clans and lineages. In addition, practices such as slavery associated with later notions of human difference occurred in ancient Greece and Rome. However, the idea of race as a taxonomic or boundary system of hum

  Happiness, it is a word in this modern age. However, since the beginning of time, philosophers have continued the quest for happiness… After all, the purpose of life is not only to live, but to live ‘well’. The fundamental role of ‘philosophy’ is to ask questions and to think about the nature of human thought and the universe.

Philosophers ask some important questions about happiness: Can people be happy? If so, do they like it? Does this mean that if people have the desire to be happy and the ability to be happy, they should continue to be happy for themselves and others? If they can, they want to, they should be happy, but how will they achieve this goal? Philosophers have been inquiring about happiness since ancient times.  Aristotle, when asked ‘what is the ultimate purpose of human existenc
