In the conceptual analysis, the advantages and weaknesses of the counterfactual view of explanation are examined. Although this conception of explanation provides a common explanatory framework, it cannot sufficiently take into account the specificity of individual nomic generalizations and, in the non-causal case, it is difficult to construct a non-interventionist form of counterfactual. Therefore, the paper offers a return to the unificacionist view of explanation (primarily Kitcher 1981), which is a type of explanatory monism, does not suffer from the mentioned problems, and also offers a solution to the problem of asymmetry of non-causal explanations.}, keywords = {Counterfactual and unificationist views of explanation, Explanatory monism and pluralism, Non-causal explanation}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.31577/filozofia.2022.77.8.2}, url = {https://www.sav.sk/journals/uploads/10211101filozofia.2022.77.8.2.pdf}, author = {Z{\'a}me{\v c}n{\'\i}k, Luk{\'a}{\v s}} }
