Hans Reichenbach was a 20th-century German philosopher who studied Einstein’s writings and who wrote The Philosophy of Space and Time.

Quotes by Hans Reichenbach in Time One

Philosophy still acts like a stranger toward the gigantic complex of natural science, even to the point of rejecting it.

The treatment of the problem of time as parallel to that of space has been detrimental.

… physics makes statements about reality …

The problem of time has always baffled the human mind.

The classical philosophers had a close connection with the science of their times….

It is the characteristic of three-dimensionality that it and only it leads to continuous causal laws for physical reality.

P]hilosophy and science have become estranged ….

[T]hree-dimensionality would thus be recognized as a logical consequence of certain fundamental properties of matter, which in turn would have to be accepted as ultimate facts.
