Paris), Chiara Lisciandra (Heinrich Heine University, Düsseldorf), and
Benjamin Schnieder (University of Vienna, Vienna), as well as student
presentations.
*DESCRIPTION*
Explanations recur as a constant and central theme in philosophy:
philosophers contend that in mathematics, proofs are favoured for their
explanatory values; in the sciences, theories are selected according to
explanatory virtues they exhibit; in metaphysics, explanatory relations
direct our accounts of concepts and ontological priority; in philosophy
more broadly, we offer and compare explanations for facets of reality to
resolve conceptual problems.
*VENUE*
3F NIG 3rd floor, Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna
