What is a mechanism? Are claims about function doomed to fail? And why are explanations in psychology and human behavior so fraught and contested?

Other topics include how philosophers are kind of like therapists, how modern philosophy of science thinks about grand explanations of everything, reductionism, and why what's happening in psychology is reassuringly not new under the scientific sun.
