Mathematicians’ Assessments of the Explanatory Value of Proofs
Functional explanation in mathematics
Mathematical explanations are poorly understood. Although mathematicians seem to regularly suggest that some proofs are explanatory whereas others are not, none of the philosophical accounts of what such claims mean has become widely accepted. In this paper we explore Wilkenfeld’s (Synthese 191:3367–3391, 2014) suggestion that explanations are those sorts of things that (in the right circumstances, and in the right manner) generate understanding.…
