Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2002 11:55:18 -0400 From: iversteg <iversteg-AT-temple.edu> Subject: BHA: A Quick Question Hi List, I have a quick question relating to historical explanation. Following Wittgenstein, Arthur Danto said in the 1960s that we explain history only insofar as we have considered it under some verbal description. This seems to be some sort of conceptual relativism of the Quinean (again influenced by Wittgenstein) sort. What would Critical Realism say to this?
