What is Explaining Explanation (The Problems of Philosophy : Their Past and Present) about?

In Explaining Explanation, David-Hillel Ruben provides a non-technical discussion of some of the main historical attempts to explain the concept of explanation, examining the works of Plato, Aristotle, John Stuart Mill, and Carl Hempel. Building on and developing the insights of these historical figures, he concludes with his own original and challenging view of explanation. Ruben relates the concept of explanation to both epistemological and metaphysical issues. Not content to confine the concept to the realm of philosophy of science, he examines it within a far more broadly conceived theory of knowledge.
