Abstract

Over the last few decades, several important questions have been raised in the philosophy of science about the concept of EXPLANATION. The present article is an attempt to investigate the answers provided by the rationalistic approach to these questions. The rationalistic approach, which is the focus of the present article, makes the EXPLANATION of a phenomenon dependent on the uncovering of its causes. The main argument is that the problems in finding an EXPLANATION are originated from the predominance of an empiricist view in this field and the success of the rationalistic approach in solving these problems, even from a pragmatist standpoint, provides sufficient reasons for examining and revitalizing this approach as a real challenge to the empiricist view which has dominated the field of philosophy of science and has been more successful in creating problems than solving them.
