Reviews

“Mantzavinos’s book on explanation is a useful summary of the philosophical conceptions of explanations, which put forward a new account as well. His examples are short and illuminating, usually taken from economy and medicine and thus not just from physics. Students and researchers could read and discuss this book in classrooms. … Mantzavinos did a great job in delivering his ideas in a clear and distinct way.” (Adam Tamas Tuboly, Review of History of Philosophy of Science Books, reviewhopos.blogspot.com, May 05, 2019)
