Reichenbach philosophy of science
Reichenbach's philosophy of science emphasizes that scientific knowledge is based on logical and probabilistic reasoning rather than absolute certainty. He introduced the idea of the "Logical Probability," focusing on how hypotheses are supported by evidence through measured likelihoods. Reichenbach believed that scientific theories are provisional and subject to revision as new data emerges. His approach underscores the importance of clarity, consistency, and empirical testing in distinguishing scientific claims from non-scientific ones, aiming for a rational method to understand and predict natural phenomena while acknowledging the inherent uncertainties in scientific reasoning.
