Sentence examples for strict explanation from inspiring English sources

With this assumption in place, Davidson's subsequent denial of strict laws incorporating mental predicates amounts to denying that there can be more than one fully adequate and complete (i.e., strict) explanation of any physical event.

At a first approximation, the concern derives from a tension between mental anomalism and the apparently privileged status assigned to physical properties in Davidson's framework in particular, that all events are physical, and all physical events have a strict explanation in terms of other physical events.

And in any case, such laws would still provide strict explanations of mental events, contrary to Davidson's own formulation of mental anomalism.

Every physical event has a fully adequate (strict) physical explanation, but no mental event can have a fully adequate (strict) mental explanation.

Both behaviours have been suggested previously for sharks and other large pelagic fishes, but a strict thermoregulatory explanation for deep-diving behaviour does not appear to apply directly to blue sharks.

Although a strict thermoregulatory explanation does not seem applicable to blue sharks, behavioural thermoregulation designed to reduce metabolic losses and increase foraging efficiency appears to explain the observed blue shark behaviour.

Our analytic proof provides strict mathematic explanations for the deterministic characterization of the ergodicity, which can be used for studying the consensus over random graphs and the formation of opinion parties.

In this vein, Goebel et al. [ 30] even suggested that a strict dichotomy contrasting explanations based on response selection and number magnitude may not be appropriate since neural mechanisms of magnitude representation may be inextricably tied to response-selection mechanisms.

6. Rosenberg's argument contains several controversial premises, such as the need for strict laws in biological explanation and the distinction between molecular and functional biology (for criticisms, see Love 2007, Love et al. 2008).

Even though, for example, hurricanes and catastrophes don't stand in strict lawlike relations, the explanation of the latter by the former is causal because we have at least a rough understanding of how hurricanes function in terms of underlying mechanisms the physical properties co-instantiated by meteorological events.

This provides a more principled explanation, replacing strict geometric constraint with the more subtle dependence of specific performance functions on geometry.
