Experience and Prediction: An Analysis of the Foundations and the Structure of Knowledge is a philosophical book written by Hans Reichenbach. The book is an exploration of the relationship between experience and prediction, and how this relationship forms the basis of our knowledge. Reichenbach argues that all knowledge is based on experience, and that prediction is the means by which we extend our knowledge beyond what we have directly experienced. He examines the various ways in which we make predictions, including induction, deduction, and probability, and shows how these methods are used in science and other fields. Reichenbach also discusses the role of causality in prediction, and how our understanding of causality affects our ability to make accurate predictions. Throughout the book, he emphasizes the importance of empirical evidence in forming and testing hypotheses, and argues that our knowledge of the world is always provisional and subject to revision in the face of new evidence. Overall, Experience and Prediction is a rigorous and insightful exploration of the foundations of knowledge, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in philosophy, science, or epistemology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
