Hempel and the Flagpole
A standard counterexample to Hempel’s Deductive-Nomological (D-N) model of explanation is the example of the flagpole and its shadow. In this example, it is shown that the DN model allows one to explain the height of a flagpole by reference to the length of its shadow (in conjunction with other background premises).
