Husserl’s early picture of explanation in the sciences has never been completely provided. This lack represents an oversight, which we here redress. In contrast to currently accepted interpretations, we demonstrate that Husserl does not adhere to the much maligned deductive-nomological (DN) model of scientific explanation. Instead, via a close reading of early Husserlian texts, we reveal that he presents a unificationist account of scientific explanation. By doing so, we disclose that Husserl’s philosophy of scientific explanation is no mere anachronism. It is, instead, tenable and relevant. We discuss how Husserl and other contemporary thinkers draw theoretical inspiration from the same source—namely, Bernard Bolzano. Husserl’s theory of scientific explanation shares a common language and discusses the same themes as, for example, Phillip Kitcher and Kit Fine. To advance our novel reading, we discuss Husserl’s investigations of grounding, inter-lawful explanation, intra-mathematical explanation, and scientific unification.

胡塞尔的科学解释理论:受波尔扎尼启发的统一主义解释

胡塞尔早期的科学解释图景从未被完整地提供过。这种缺失代表了一种疏忽,我们在此予以纠正。与目前接受的解释相反,我们证明胡塞尔并不遵循备受诟病的科学解释的演绎法理(DN)模型。相反,通过仔细阅读胡塞尔早期的文本,我们发现他对科学解释提出了统一主义的解释。通过这样做,我们揭示了胡塞尔的科学解释哲学不仅仅是不合时宜的。相反,它是站得住脚且相关的。我们讨论胡塞尔和其他当代思想家如何从同一来源(即伯纳德·博尔扎诺)获得理论灵感。胡塞尔的科学解释理论与菲利普·基彻(Phillip Kitcher)和基特·法恩(Kit Fine)等人有共同的语言并讨论相同的主题。为了推进我们的小说阅读,我们讨论胡塞尔对基础、法律间解释、数学内解释和科学统一的研究。
