Reviews
The explication of explanation is one of the key themes of contemporary philosophy. It has more facets than the Kohinoor diamond and its analysis more claimants than the estate of Howard Hughes. This book endeavors to bring rational order into this complex domain by projecting a 'pragmatic constructivism' able to provide a dialectically harmonizing symbiosis of scientific realism with pragmatic contextualism. Its innovative approach is at once challenging and constructive. - Nicholas Rescher, Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy, University of Pittsburgh, USA
