Ah, thanks so much Carol, for the direction and discussion.
Perhaps it would be best if I could review the posts on the other list... I am widely read and in certain subjects rather ddeply but I am not an academic... and I still type with a little distracting difficulty which will affect my style. Thus, your terms: empirical
generalization and theoretical EXPLANATION; may meanings as 'terms of art' referencing a speciality while I may normally to use them from a broader or more idiosyncratic frame... or Burkean 'ground'.
I'll be up for awhile longer if you'd an to et into it.

(You need to click
"Reply All"; otherwise it goes to the post's
sender
rather than to kb.)
I'm interested in your
somewhat cryptic message because on another list I am
writing on the difference between theory on the
one hand and "what needs to
be
explained" on the other. And involved in that is a
differentiation
between empirical
generalization and theoretical EXPLANATION.

I think I can add to this discussion. In
earlier days I replied to the
emails I
received but they went to Ed so to kick off I'd like to
test
kb at kbjournal.org as
an address to the e-list and ask if anyone has looked
closely into the nature of
'explanations'. More to follow perhaps.
