Hans Reichenbach on the Direction of Time

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Hans Reichenbach on the Direction of Time

Thursday 26 September 2024 is the 133rd anniversary of the birth of Hans Reichenbach (26 September 1891 – 09 April 1953), who was born in Hamburg on this date in 1891.

Reichenbach is remembered as a philosopher of science and no one links him to philosophy of history, but he wrote extensively about time, and for any philosophy of history that takes time seriously, there are implications for the philosophy of history. Reichenbach’s conception of time, as a thorough-going scientific account based on the fundamental physics of thermodynamics, provides a rigorous basis for scientific history.
