흄적 설명이론들, 그리고 이들의 형이상학적 전제

초록

In this paper, I argue two things. First, I argue that most major theories of explanation developed during the second half of the 20th century are either “Humean theories of explanation” or “quasi – Humean theories of explanation.” Second, I argue that both the proposed Humean theories of explanation and the realism versions of the proposed quasi – Humean theories of explanation are committed to the Humean metaphysical picture which denies the existence of necessary connection between wholly distinct facts. After that, I argue that anti-Humean theories of explanation do not have such metaphysical commitment.
