简介

Von Wright published “Explanation and Understanding” in 1971 at Cornell University Press and Routledge. He contrasts two traditions in the philosophy of science: a “Galilean” one, aiming at causal explanation by general laws, and an “Aristotelian” one, aiming at teleological understanding. For human action he defends the second: actions are understood through the practical syllogism, in which an agent intends an end and believes a certain action to be necessary for it, and this connection is logical, not causal. The book drew on Anscombe’s “Intention” and engaged with the hermeneutic tradition from Droysen and Dilthey; it was widely discussed in Germany and France, among others by Paul Ricoeur.
