Counterfactual and consilience
本文探讨经济地理学中多元解释方法的统一问题，提出通过反事实和一致性解释来整合不同学科视角，同时保持各领域的自主性。
In the spirit of this exchange’s call for more “methodological talk” in explanation, I suggest that polyphonic disunity that has prompted persistent calls in economic geography for some form of unificatory explanation may be pursued through opportunities in counterfactual and consilience explanations. These opportunities acknowledge a unificatory continuum that does not eschew explanatory autonomy while drawing multivoices and their methodologies into proximity.
