This review is from: Experience and Prediction: An Analysis of the Foundations and the Structure of Knowledge (Paperback)

Experience And Prediction: An Analysis Of The Foundations And The Structure Of Knowledge reprints the classic treatise by German-American philosopher of science Hans Reichenbach (1891-1953). Paving the way for the rigorous post-WW II philosophy of science, Experience And Prediction breaks down the fundamental conundrums of existence, reduction, projection, construction, the nature of the ego, probability logic, and much more. A highly scholarly text, written expressly to introduce the concept of "logical positivism" (a form of epistemology the prioritized scientific truths over metaphysical truths) to English speakers, Experience And Prediction is a classic work highly recommended for college library and philosophy reference shelves.
