| Forms of thinking: Here we are concerned with typical patterns according to which problems are explained, such as the image of communicating tubes, which is supposed to explain why we are not equally qualified in all fields, or the introduction of different levels of description in order to justify why certain phenomena are independent of each other. It is always the question whether these patterns are suitable for an explanation in a particular case. See also theories, explanations._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them. Instead, they are intended to give a short introduction to the contributions below. – Lexicon of Arguments. | |||
