Abstract

The concept of EXPLANATION is among the major concepts of the philosophy of science whose relation with the principle of CAUSALITY has been the center of a large number of discussions. Until the time positivism appeared, the common view was that the EXPLANATION of a phenomenon was synonymous with the statement of its causes.However, some of the positivists tried to define the concept of EXPLANATION through translating the explanatory relation to a an inferential logical relation. By drawing on the views of contemporary followers of the principle of CAUSALITY and examining the problems identified with positivism, the present article intends to clarify the point that the separation of the concept of EXPLANATION from the concept of CAUSALITY is the underlying reason for the doubt raised on the totality and NECESSITY of scientific laws and the baselessness of scientific predictions. The main argument is that due to central role of the concept of the NECESSITY of CAUSALITY in the description and EXPLANATION of scientific research, it is vital to both physics and metaphysics.
