Hans Reichenbach, a philosopher of science who was one of five
students in Einstein's first seminar on the general theory of
relativity, became Einstein's bulldog, defending the theory against
criticism from philosophers, physicists, and popular commentators.
This 2006 book chronicles the development of Reichenbach's
reconstruction of Einstein's theory in a way that clearly sets out
all of its philosophical commitments and its physical predictions
as well as the battles that Reichenbach fought on its behalf, in
both the academic and popular press. The essays include reviews and
responses to philosophical colleagues; polemical discussions with
physicists Max Born and D. C. Miller; as well as popular articles
meant for the layperson. At a time when physics and philosophy were
both undergoing revolutionary changes in content and method, this
book is a window into the development of scientific philosophy and
the role of the philosopher.
