Call for Papers:
The Nature and Norms of Scientific Explanation Philosophical Problems in Science
Special Issue:
Submissions are invited for a guest-edited special issue on scientific explanation. Of particular interest are submissions on (i) the nature of explanation, with special attention to foundational debates between the ontic (‘OC’) and epistemic (‘EC’) conceptions, and on (ii) the norms of scientific explanation, with special attention to so-called ‘ontic’ and ‘epistemic’ norms (intelligibility, accuracy, idealization, completeness, fecundity, etc.). Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
· Developments or critiques of OC or EC
· Explanatory metatheory
· Explanatory vehicles
· Fact causation and explanation
· Idealization, abstraction, or model-based fictions in explanations
· Non-causal or mathematical explanation
· Metaphysics of systems explanation
· Evaluating explanatory goodness in science
· Norms and aims of scientific explanations
The special issue will offer philosophers of science an opportunity to evaluate these two conceptions and to survey whether any consensus has been achieved on foundational debates, aiming to help settle what it can
