- Wesley_C._Salmon abstract "Wesley C Salmon (August 9, 1925 – April 22, 2001), was an American philosopher of science best-known for his work on the nature of scientific explanation. His textbook on introductory logic was also long an international standard. He also worked on confirmation theory, trying to expliciate how probability theory has been applied via inductive logic in attempts to confirm and choose hypotheses.Most prominently, Salmon was a realist about causality in scientific explanation, although his realist explanation of causality drew ample criticism. Still, his books on scientific explanation itself were landmarks of the 20th century's philosophy of science, and solidified recognition of causality's important roles in scientific explanation, whereas causality itself has evaded satisfactory elucidation by anyone.Under the influence of logical positivism, and especially the work of Carl Hempel on the "covering law" model of scientific explanation, many philosophers view scientific explanation as involving no commitments about the role of causation. Salmon introduced the statistical-relevance model (SR model), aimed to replace the covering law model's inductive-statistical model (IS model), and proposed strict maximal specificity as a criterion supplementing the covering law model's other component, the deductive-nomological model (DN model). Yet ultimately, Salmon found statistical models to be but early stages, and lawlike regularities to be unsatisfactory, in scientific explanation. As the more actual manner of scientific explanation, Salmon proposed causal/mechanical explanation.".
