Abstract

Carnap's method of EXPLICATION of CONCEPTs proposed based on the idea that the main responsibility of philosopher of science is the clarification of vague scientific and unscientific CONCEPTs in the language of science and replacement of them by “crystal clear” ones. The critiques of philosophers like Strawson, Quine, and Popper caused most philosophers of science not to openly endorse CARNAP's method of EXPLICATION, even though an important part of their philosophical works devoted to his project. In recent years, some philosophers of science have fully defended the method of EXPLICATION. Instead of criticizing the arguments of these philosophers, this paper criticizes the products of applying the method of EXPLICATION on one important CONCEPT of philosophy of science, “unification”. It has been shown that the efforts of philosophers of science in offering an EXPLICATION for this CONCEPT have been futile.
