Experience and Prediction

Focusing on the evolution of philosophical thought in the early twentieth century, the book explores Hans Reichenbach's pivotal role in the development of logical positivism and its emphasis on scientific truths. Influenced by Einstein's theories, Reichenbach made significant contributions to space-time theories and quantum mechanics. After fleeing Nazi Germany, he aimed to introduce logical positivism to English-speaking audiences. The resurgence of interest in the philosophy of science highlights the relevance of his work, making this text a valuable resource for scholars.
