Contrastive Explanation

Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplement, 1990
According to a causal model of explanation, we explain phenomena by giving their causes or, where the phenomena are themselves causal regularities, we explain them by giving a mechanism linking cause and effect.

Cartographic “explanations” need explanations themselves

Abstract This chapter offers a conceptual and empirical criticism of phrasal movements in cartographic syntax. The chapter argues that present-day approaches to generative syntax warrant the assumption that core aspects of cartographic syntax do not match current conceptual aims.
