汉斯•赖欣巴哈是逻辑经验主义柏林学派的主要代表,对科学哲学和逻辑经验主义的建立和发展做出了卓越贡献。他通过对传统知识论的批判和对近现代自然科学的哲学分析，建立了他独具特色的知识论体系。传统哲学企图获致一种确定性的知识，但不管是唯理论者还是经验论者，最后他们都陷入了困境。唯理论的最伟大体系——康德先天综合判断理论被现代自然科学证明为是不成立的，经验论则在休谟那里走向了不可知论。与哲学的停滞不前相反，自然科学在近代获得了飞速发展，非欧几何学的诞生、相对论和量子力学的创立。这场自然科学革命引起了人们思想观念的转变，赖欣巴哈亲身经历了这场科学革命和哲学革命，他试图通过对自然科学的解读来重新阐释知识论问题。赖欣巴哈自称是逻辑经验主义者，与早期逻辑实证主义者的不同主要在于他从概率的角度来研究哲学问题。概括说来，他的知识论包括以下几点：一、他对概率作了一个统计学的解释，把概率逻辑作为知识论的基础，认为它既符合世界的因果结构，又解决了归纳问题；二、他不赞同早期实证主义者提出的可证实性标准，主张以概率的意义理论取代真理的意义理论，来清楚所谓的形而上学问题；三、演绎逻辑和归纳逻辑是知识论的两大工具，但它们在知识论的地位和作用是不同的，它们的性质决定了它们的功用；四、从实用主义的角度来理解知识，知识只是最好的假定，而不是普遍的、确定的。 赖欣巴哈基本上是在逻辑实证主义的框架内来探讨哲学问题的，可以说，他在逻辑主义和经验主义方面已做到了极致。但同时，他的哲学中也具有明显的科学主义和实用主义的倾向，这跟他早年的物理学训练和受美国实用主义思潮的影响有关。另外，赖欣巴哈关于知识是一种假定的思想，与后来知识社会学的观点极其相近。只是前者源于科学内部（受量子论的启发），后者源于科学外部，但毕竟殊途同归。

Hans Reichenbanch is the chief representative of logical empirisicism, and made outstanding contributions to the establishment and development of Philosophy of science and logical empirisicism. He established his unique views concerning knowledge through the critical to traditional views and the analysis of modern science.The traditional philosophy attempted to search for knowledge of certainty. But no matter Rationalism or Empiricism ,they both failed. Kant’s philosophy of synthetic a-priori,to be the greatest construction of Rationalism,was proved invalid by modern natural science,and Hume’s critique led Empiricism to agnosticism.Instead of philosophy’s stagnation,modern natural science experienced a rapid development,for example,the finding of non-Euclidean geometries, the establishment of Relativity and Quantum mechanics.This natural revolution caused ideological change of people,for instense, Kant’s philosophy of a-priori was desconstructed by the birth of non-Euclidean geometries and Relativity,and Quantum mechanics get rid of strict causality. Hans Reichenbanch experienced this revolution of science and philosophy,and he tried to give a new view Concerning Knowledge to it.Hans Reichenbanch called his philosophy logical empirisicism,because his philosophy was based on the probability,and this is his main difference to other logical positivist.In a word,his philosophy following these: Firstly,he made a statistics explanation for the probility,and builded his philosophy on the probability, because it not only accord with the causal structure of the word , but also solved the inductive problem. Secondly, he proposed probility meaning to clear the metaphysics instead of truth meaning. Thirdly, deduction and induction is the two majoy tools of knowledge,but they play different roles in it. The last, he claimed knowledge is just a good posit,not something of certainty or universality.To be a logical positivist, Hans Reichenbanch was basically solving problems in the frame of logical positivism. May be we can say, he has done the best in the direction of logic and empiricism. But, he also showed scientific socialism and pragmatism in his philosophy, this is associated with his foundation of physics studying and influence of American pragmatism. In addition, his views concerning knowledge is similar to Sociology of Scientific Knowledge. But their way is different.
