German philosopher of science who developed a frequency theory of probability, a pragmatic vindication of induction, and the philosophical analysis of relativity theory.
Frequency interpretation of probability: probabilities are limiting frequencies of events in sequences. Pragmatic vindication of induction: even if induction cannot be deductively justified, it is the best strategy we can adopt. Philosophical analysis of space-time: distinguished coordinate definitions from empirical facts in relativity.
