Вудварда способны играть роль «исключительных (salient) характеристик объяснения», которые могут ассоциироваться со значимыми характеристиками мета-обоснования тому, что «система эмпирических убеждений, которая обоснована в соответствии с принятыми стандартами, тем самым с большой вероятностью (likely to be) соответствует реальности», в ситуации, когда апелляция к более традиционным концепциям объяснения – унификационистской (Ф. Китчер) или причинностной (У. Сэлмон) – не принимается в силу «парадигмального конфликта», разделяющего данное научное сообщество. В качестве эвристики рассматривается рецепция концепции К. Ренфрю распространения индоевропейского языка по территории Европы в период неолитической революции, предложенная Э. Уайли с целью показать, что «обсуждение противоречивости объяснения явлений в концепции Ренфрю раскрывается в точности по линии, разделяющей интуиции Китчера и Сэлмона». Ключевым компонентом мета-обоснования будет понятие «инвариантности» или «сохранения» предполагаемого объяснения «перед лицом новых данных» (Л. Бонжур). Объяснение будет инвариантным «по Вудварду», когда его функционально значимые компоненты (как часть предлагаемого механизма объяснения) будут связаны отношением «конституирующего объяснения» (К. Крэйвер), характеризуемого и отличающегося от отношения причинности требованием «совместной манипулируемости экспланансов и экспланандума».</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The paper aims to show that some elements of J. Woodward’s manipulative concept of causality are capable of playing the role of «salient characteristics of an explanation» that can be associated with the key characteristics of meta-justification that «a system of empirical beliefs that is justified according to accepted standards is thus likely to correspond to reality» in a situation where an appeal to more traditional concepts of explanation – unificationist (P. Kitcher) or causal (W. Salmon) – is not accepted due to the «paradigm conflict» dividing the given scientific community. As a heuristics we consider the reception of C. Renfrew’s concept of the diffusion of Indo-European language across Europe during the Neolithic Revolution, proposed by A. Wiley aimed to show that «the discussion of the inconsistency of the explanation of phenomena within the Renfrew’s concept is revealed precisely along the line dividing the intuitions of Kitcher and Salmon». The key component of meta-justification will be the notion of «invariance» or «stability» of the proposed explanation «in the face of new data» (L. Bonjour). An explanation will be invariant «in accordance with Woodward’s concept» when its functionally significant components (as parts of the proposed explanatory mechanism) are connected by the relation of «constitutive explanation» (С. Craver), characterized and distinguished from the relation of causality by the requirement of «mutual manipulability»</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>объяснение</kwd><kwd>унификационизм</kwd><kwd>причинность</kwd><kwd>схождение</kwd><kwd>инвариантность</kwd><kwd>мета-обоснование</kwd><kwd>манипулятивизм</kwd><kwd>конституирующее объяснение</kwd><kwd>Л.
