Scientific Explanation and Laws of Nature
Wang Wei, Tsinghua, U. of China

Abstract: I believe the study of relationship between
laws of nature and scientific explanation would be promising in
solving some problems of traditional scientific explanation models
and in deepening our understanding of laws of nature. I try to find
similarities between the epistemic conception of explanation and
the regularity theory of laws, between the modal conception and
the necessitarian approach.
