Abstract
GARCIA CAMPOS, Jonatan; AVILA DEL PALACIO, Alfonso and ISLAS MONDRAGON, Damián. Una propuesta para comparar diferentes explicaciones sobre un mismo objeto de estudio. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2015, n.48, pp.9-43. ISSN 0188-6649.
This paper proposes a theoretical tool with which it is possible to compare different explanations addressed to the same subject. This tool consists of three sets of virtues: epistemic, analytical and pragmatic. To support the above, two case studies are offered: the first compares two psychological explanations about the autism spectrum disorders, the second compares two explanations about the origin of numbers from an empiricist perspective.
Keywords : explanation; virtues; autism; origin of numbers.
