On Strevens' view, deep standalone explanations cite higherlevel properties if and only if they represent causally contiguous fundamental-level causal processes, whereas frameworked explanations freely appeal to multiply realizable properties, substitute functional specifications for lower-level causal dynamics, and/or willfully of frameworked explanations would resolve some difficulties facing Strevens' account of 1974; Putnam, 1975; Garfinkel, 1981; Kitcher, 1984; Jackson and Pettit, 1992; Sober, 1999).	./cache/work_ux2na7wlezh45aitukkrjzctlm.pdf	./txt/work_ux2na7wlezh45aitukkrjzctlm.txt
