following event:
All Things
Reichenbach
MCMP, LMU Munich
22-24 July, 2019
******************************
Hans Reichenbach (1891-1953), one of the founding fathers of Logical
Empiricism, is among the most important philosophers of science of
the Twentieth Century and without doubt one of the most prominent
philosophers of physics of the first half of the past century. Many
of his ideas still retain their interest in current philosophy of
science, and his work continues to be influential, often in
unnoticed but deep ways. This conference is dedicated to
highlighting the importance of Reichenbach and his legacy, across
all areas of his thought, specifically focusing on the issues raised
within his work, and on the current debates surrounding them.

We invite the submission of extended abstracts for the conference.
