SPRINGERBRIEFS IN PHILOSOPHY A DIALOGUE ON EX...

This book introduces a panorama of the philosophical theory of explanation. Written as a
philosophical dialogue between two interlocutors  Philip and a student  it presents a defense
of the position of explanatory pluralism. The fictional dialogue takes place on Cape Sounion 
near Athens  where the two interlocutors are enjoying the view over the Aegean Sea. An initial
exchange of arguments leads to a dialogue unfolding the development of the contemporary
philosophical theory of explanation. The second part of the dialogue is devoted to an exchange
of arguments on explanatory pluralism as a novel approach to the philosophical theory of
explanation. The two also discuss historical cases as well as the ways of achieving explanatory
progress in science. We are all philosophers and we develop our own philosophy by exchanging
views and arguments. The dialogue form is and should remain the principal form of
philosophizing  since ideas do not merely exist - they develop. This is certainly the case in
real-world philosophical interaction  and as this book aptly demonstrates  it can also be the
case in written philosophical exposition.
