explanans การใช้

• Conditions, refer to proliferating causes that bring a further event, state or process; without a metaphysical commitment to an occult connection between explaining and explanans.
• The research of Lamont and colleagues demonstrated the importance of considering various aspects of culture as explanans and explanandum in the social sciences as something more than a  residual category . 
• In DN model, the stated phenomenon to be explained is the " explanandum "  which can be an event, theory whereas premises stated to explain it are the " explanans ".
• Dictionary production, as a project in lexicography, should not be confused with a mathematical or logical activity, where giving a definition for a word is similar to providing an explanans for an explanandum in a context where practitioners are expected to use a deductive system.
• In Aristotelian philosophy, the word'cause'is also used to mean'explanation'or'answer to a why question', including Aristotle's material, formal, efficient, and final " causes "; then the " cause " is the explanans for the explanandum.
• Brady ( 1982, 1985 ) introduced the term " explanandum " for empirical patterns and " explanans " for process theory, writing : " by making our explanation into the definition of the condition [ data ] to be explained, we express not scientific hypothesis but belief ".
• The phenomenon to be explained is the " "'explanandum " "' an event, theory whereas the premises to explain it are " "'explanans " "', true or highly confirmed, containing at least one universal law, and entailing the explanandum.
• By the problem of irrelevance, if one asks, " Why did that man not get pregnant ? ", one could in part answer, among the explanans, " Because he took birth control pills "  if he factually took them, and the law of their preventing pregnancy as covering law model poses no restriction to bar that observation from the explanans.

• Explanans must be true or highly confirmed, contain at least one law, and entail the explanandum . ( Differing from a merely true regularity for instance, " George always carries only $ 1 bills in his wallet "  a law suggests what " must " be true, and is consequent of a scientific theory's axiomatic structure .)
• In contrast to cultural anthropology, culture and its continuity ( including narratives, rituals, and symbolic behavior associated with them ) have been traditionally seen more as the dependent'variable'( cf . " explanandum " ) by social anthropology, embedded in its historical and social context, including its diversity of positions and perspectives, ambiguities, conflicts, and contradictions of explanans " ).
• Although Mandel's profit theory was enormously more complex than Grossman's profit theory, this complexity itself became problematic : there were so many interacting " semi-autonomous variables " in Mandel's theory, that observable empirical trends could be attributed to any number of interacting variables; this meant that no particular result " necessarily " followed from the theory, and that the explanans ( that which explains ) became confused with the explanandum ( that which has to be explained ).
