The depth of an explanation depends on the amount of detail itsprovides about the causal process that explains the phenomenon at issue (see, for instance,s=-=Marchionni 2006-=-).6sIt appears that the notion of explanatory depth does not really require adaptation insorder for it to be ...
However, all of these terms are also significantly overloaded. In this paper, we address several interpretations of these notions, with an emphasis on their strong connection. Specifically, we discuss a notion of explanation termed ontological unpacking, which aims at explaining symbolic domain ...
A complete analysis of these ideas finally depends, however, on a theory of existence, which is given with close reference to the notion of designation. Alternative accounts of total explanation based on theories of extreme axiarchism and explanatory self-subsumption are considered in chapter 3. ...
A cognitive explanation refers to an explanation that hypothesizes that the analysis of a grammatical phenomenon is based on conventional semantic properties. It involves linking the distribution of linguistic features, such as plural inflections, to the semantic classes of entities denoted by nouns. ...
It is possible that Piccinini and Craver could be working with a more robust notion of constraint that is inconsistent with an informational theory, but nothing in their paper suggests this. Piccinini and Craver's (2011) argument might not follow if Kaplan and Craver's (2011) model-to-mechani...
You ask us to think of writing emails and the notion of an ‘unkind tax.’ Video I confess, when I was writing the book and approaching the end, I’d always imagined that the final section was going to be about short, written communication, such as emails and messages of ...

1 But to reflect on Ayala’s claim I must have some notion of what makes a theory in general explanatory and also some notion of what makes an explanation teleological. While I can’t claim to have a pat answer on either of these puzzles (especially the former!), let me make some ...
The EGCWA is based on the notion that a statement with no explanation from hypotheses should be assumed false. The semantics for the EGCWA is considered, and it is shown that the model of the EGCWA is such that the set of true hypotheses is maximal. On the basis of this result, the...
