In his book "The Genesis of Scientific Philosophy," Hans Reichenbach, one of the most prominent philosophers of the twentieth century and the pioneer of "logical positivism," offers us a new vision of "the role of philosophy in the modern era," a vision that calls for "a break with philosophy's metaphysical past" and " Rebuilding it on solid scientific foundations." Reichenbach argues that "traditional philosophy" has failed to find convincing answers to "humanity's great questions," due to its reliance on "abstract contemplation" and "vague concepts." He calls for a "new philosophy" that takes "science and experience" as its approach, and focuses on "what can be proven accurately and clearly." Reichenbach emphasizes that "scientific philosophy" is not "merely a mechanical application of the scientific method," but rather an "independent intellectual approach" that aims to "analyze scientific concepts and examine their philosophical foundations," which contributes to "developing our understanding of the world and ourselves."
