About this episode
In this thought-provoking lecture titled Why vs How, explore the crucial distinction between explanation and mechanism. Learn how science often answers "why" by offering a "how," focusing on processes and functions—while deeper philosophical inquiry seeks meaning, purpose, and ultimate causes beyond empirical description.
What you would encounter is a reading, commentary and explanation of texts including but not limited to Yasin Masih's Western Philosophy.
This series follows closely with the UPSC syllabus as prescribed for Philosophy Optional Paper 1 and hence can be of great use to any students trying to develop an understanding for the same.
