Book Synopsis Explaining Understanding by : Stephen R. Grimm

Download or read book Explaining Understanding written by Stephen R. Grimm and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to understand something? What types of understanding can be distinguished? Is understanding always provided by explanations? And how is it related to knowledge? Such questions have attracted considerable interest in epistemology recently. These discussions, however, have not yet engaged insights about explanations and theories developed in philosophy of science. Conversely, philosophers of science have debated the nature of explanations and theories, while dismissing understanding as a psychological by-product. In this book, epistemologists and philosophers of science together address basic questions about the nature of understanding, providing a new overview of the field. False theories, cognitive bias, transparency, coherency, and other important issues are discussed. Its 15 original chapters are essential reading for researchers and graduate students interested in the current debates about understanding.
