{"product_id":"everyday-metaphysical-explanation-9780198857303","title":"Everyday Metaphysical Explanation","description":"The philosophical notion of metaphysical explanation has been subject to an increased level of attention in the previous decade. Despite tantalising claims about how metaphysical explanations are part of everyday life, the everyday notion has not been explored. In \u003cem\u003eEveryday Metaphysical Explanation\u003c\/em\u003e, Kristie Miller and James Norton take up the task of developing an account of the everyday notion of metaphysical explanation: the notion that we all use in ordinary contexts when we ask for, and receive, explanations of a certain sort. Building on the striking results of their empirical investigation of folk judgements regarding what metaphysically explains what, together with evidence of our ordinary practices surrounding the notion, they build three unique accounts of the phenomenon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKristie Miller, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Philosophy, and joint director of the Centre for Time, University of Sydney\u003c\/em\u003e, James Norton, \u003cem\u003ePostdoctoral Fellow, University of Iceland\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKristie Miller is currently an Australian Research Council Future Fellow at the University of Sydney.
