  Scientists often talk about the search for meaning, and about explanations that can make sense of the universe. But what do we mean by this, and what information do thse explanations give us? In Explanations, eminent philosophers and scientists from a wide variety of backgrounds address this problem, to provoke and inspire reflection on how and why we explain things the way we do.
