摘要

What is explanatory inference and how does it work? Some argue that explanatory inference should be analysed within a Bayesian framework. Others contend that explanatory inference and Bayesianism are incompatible. In this paper, I propose a middle ground between these two views: a new account of explanatory inference that goes beyond Bayesianism while remaining compatible with it. One way to do this is by denying the Lockean Thesis in favour of the Humean Thesis.
