14. Science / D. Explanation / 2. Types of Explanation / a. Types of explanation

18222	Beneath every extrinsic explanation there is an intrinsic explanation [Field,H]
	Full Idea: A plausible methodological principle is that underlying every good extrinsic explanation there is an intrinsic explanation.
	From: Hartry Field (Science without Numbers [1980], 5)
	A reaction: I'm thinking that Hartry Field is an Aristotelian essentialist, though I bet he would never admit it.
