Its reception cannot be comprehended without accounting for the way that the new European mathematics was shaped by Renaissance humanist writings. We sketch this background and show with one case study on algebraic solutions to a linear problem how the understanding and appreciation of Indian mathematics was deeply influenced by the humanist prejudice that all higher intellectual culture, in particular all science, had risen from Greek soil.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>13</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Weber, Erik</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Van Bouwel, Jeroen</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Persson, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ylikoski, Petri</style></author></secondary-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Assessing the explanatory power of causal explanations.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rethinking Explanation</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kluwer Academic Publishers</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dordrecht</style></pub-location><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">109–118</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">978-1-4020-5580-5</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>13</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Batens, Diderik</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meheus, Joke</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kiikeri, Mika</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ylikoski, Petri</style></author></secondary-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">On the Logic and Pragmatics of the Process of Explanation</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Explanatory Connections.

The first concerns a proof theory that leads to the derivation of possible initial conditions from an \emph{explanandum} and a given theory. The second logic concerns the derivation of questions in view of the verification of some possible initial condition, or of one out of several possible initial conditions. It is essential that the latter derivation proceeds in terms of all available knowledge, and not in terms of the explaining theory. It is shown that the second logic provides useful information for explicating further pragmatic aspects of the process of explanation. Several extensions of the logics are argued to be both useful and rather easy to obtain.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;22&amp;nbsp;pp.&lt;/p&gt;</style></notes></record></records></xml>
