Je Eulerova explanácia nemožnosti prechodu kráľoveckých mostov symetrická alebo asymetrická?
Is Euler’s Explanation of the Non-traversability of Königs-berg’s Bridges Symmetric or Asymmetric? 77, 2022, No 7, pp. 531 – 544 In this article I will focus on the analysis of a scientific explanation of an empi-rical event that has at least three different incompatible interpretations / recon-structions. This example in philosophical and scientific literature is known as Euler's explanation. However, this work will only follow the differences be-tween Reutlinger’s and Lange’s and Woodwardʼs reconstruction. The paper at-tempts to show that Euler’s explanation can only by reconstructed as an asym-metric non-causal explanation. It does so with the help of Lange’s and Wood-ward’s main key ideas of their theories of explanation. Subsequently these ideas are put up against Reutlinger’s conclusion that Euler’s explanation constitutes a symmetric non-causal explanation. In the end the paper argues that ultimately this is a wrong conclusion because Reutlinger’s account omitted certain aspects of Euler’s explanation.
