SUMMARY:Philosophy Lecture: Explanatory Particularism in Scientific Practic
 e
DESCRIPTION:Explanatory particularism is an approach to studying explanatio
 n that takes social aspects of scientific practice as primary. Like recent
  defenses of pluralism about explanation\, this account rejects the tradit
 ional idea that there is one kind of explanation common to all the science
 s and everyday life. Instead\, multiple styles of explanation flourish in 
 local contexts\, intersecting with one another in diverse ways. More radic
 al than other forms of explanatory pluralism\, the particularist approach 
 directs philosophers’ attention to often overlooked aspects of scientifi
 c practice: interdisciplinary collaboration and conflict\, interlinked asp
 ects of understanding\, and a pro-social image of science as diverse yet u
 nified. I’ll introduce the particularist approach and then discuss some 
 of its main implications and results.
