  Hans Reichenbach [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Hans Reichenbach, born on September 26th 1891 in Hamburg, Germany, was a leading philosopher of science, a founder of the Berlin circle, and a proponent of logical positivism (also known as neopositivism or logical empiricism).
Reichenbach asserts that the relativity of simultaneity is independent from the relativity of motion.
Reichenbach asserts that Heisenberg indeterminacy principle is not due to the alleged interference an observer exerts on particles (the explanation of indeterminacy principle in terms of an interference is due to Heisenberg).

 [No title]
Reichenbach is often considered to be an adamant logical positivist, propagating ideas on the mental that are far too `physicalistic'.
Reichenbach's answer to this kind of question is often put on a par with that of the early positivists.
Reichenbach's answer here is a yes-and-no. On the one hand we may say that the species of wallabies exists, meaning that many wallabies exist and that they have certain biological qualities in common which distinguish them from other animals.

 Reichenbach on Time
First, even though Reichenbach is counted as a logical positivist and thus is a member of my least favorite philosophical school, he came to approximately the same conclusions about time that I did.
Reichenbach died in 1953 and the last chapter of his book was never written, but a conclusion has been patched in from another work, and it is consistent with what came earlier.
Reichenbach also rejected determinism, for reasons coming partly from quantum theory and partly from thermodynamics.

 Amazon.com: The Philosophy of Space and Time: Books: Hans Reichenbach   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Reichenbach writes with clarity, reason and passion on a topic that is in much need of this still today.
Reichenbach, in the Introduction, rues the current estrangement of philosophy and science, longing for the "natural philosophy" of the past, where thinkers were well-versed in both areas.
Firstly Reichenbach is too much of a positivist, trying to be too general about the relativity of geometry, and he is overly concerned about debating the view that Euclidean space is more natural.

 Defending Einstein - Cambridge University Press
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 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, such as Moritz Schlick and Hugo Dingler; polemical discussions with physicists Max Born and D. Miller; as well as popular articles meant to clarify aspects of Einstein's theories and set out their philosophical ramifications for the layperson.

 Berlin Circle at Erratic Impact's Philosophy Research Base
Reichenbach's book is a classic text, the first (I think) to focus on the philosophical aspects of quantum mechanics.
Since it was written around the time that quantum mechanics was born, it does not deal with modern discussion on the subject.
Reichenbach does solid work, however, and this is a valuable resource for anyone interested in these issues.
