An analysis of some of the attempts to explain the concept of explanation. The author offers an insight into the works of Plato, Aristotle, John Stuart Mill and Carl Hempel and examines the concept within a wide theory of knowledge without confining it to a philosophy of science.

Review
"Ruben utilizes concepts gleaned from the theories of explanation offered by Plato, Aristotle, John Stuart Mill, and Carl Hempel to elaborate his own realist theory . . . . The volume succeeds admirably in being accessible to undergraduates and helpful to specialists in the field."
From the reviews of the cloth edition:
-"Choice
""Explaining Explanation is what many books claim to be, but few actually are a book that is both accessible to the advanced undergraduate' and of interest to professional philosophers. It presents a good overview of a wide spectrum of work on explanation with admirable clarity and concision . . . Ruben has interesting and insightful things to say about every topic he discusses."
