Wahrscheinlichkeitslehre. Eine Untersuchung über die Logischen und Mathematischen Grundlagen der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung.
Leiden, Sijthoff, 1935. Lex8vo. In the original publishers cloth. Black leather title label with gilt lettering to spine. Previous owner's name to. A very fine and clean copy. IX, (1), 451, (1) pp.
First edition of Reichenbach famous work on the theory of probability which 1949 was traslated into English (The Theory of Probability, 1949).Reichenbach studied civil engineering, physics, mathematics, and philosophy at Berlin, Göttingen, and Munich in the 1910s. Among his teachers were neo-Kantian philosopher Ernst Cassirer, mathematician David Hilbert, and physicists Max Planck, Max Born, and Arnold Sommerfeld. Reichenbach received his degree in philosophy from the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nürnberg in 1915 with a dissertation on the theory of probability titled Der Begriff der Wahrscheinlichkeit für die mathematische Darstellung der Wirklichkeit (The Concept of Probability for the mathematical Representation of Reality), published in 1916. Between 1917 and 1920, while he was working as a physicist and engineer, Reichenbach attended Albert Einstein's lectures on the theory of relativity at Berlin. He was fascinated by the theory of relativity and in a few years published four books about this subject: The Theory of Relativity and A Priori Knowledge (1920),Axiomatization of the Theory of Relativity (1924), From Copernicus to Einstein (1927), and The Philosophy of Space and Time (1928). In 1920 he began teaching at the Technische Hochschule at Stuttgart as private docent.During his stay in Turkey he published The Theory of Probability (1935). In 1938 he moved to the United States, where he became professor at the University of California at Los Angeles."" (DSB)

First printing of Reichenbach famous work on the philosophy of space and time with point of reference in Einstein's theory of relativity.""Reichenbach, who perhaps contributed the most to the recent development of the casual theory of time, approached his axiomatic research from the point of view of epistemology, that is, the theory of physical knowledge. The Axiomatik der relativistischen Raum-Zeit-Lehre, HIS GREAT ATTEMPT AT A PHILOSOPHICAL INTERPRETATION OF RELATIVITY, A BOOK WHICH IS ESSENTIAL TO AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE LOGICAL STRUCTURE OF RELATIVITY, is almost entirely dominated by the idea of causal action of which space and time are only expressions of structural features"". (Mehlberg. Essay on the causal theory of time, P. 105)""By 1924 Reichenbach had developed his theory of ""equivalent descriptions,"" a central tenet of his theory of knowledge. It is formulated in his Axiomatik der relativistischen Raum-Zeit-Lehre (1924), and it is developed with new applications in his works on quantum mechanics and time. This theory attributes an indispensable role in physical theory to conventions but rejects the extreme conventionalism of Poincaré and his school. Reichenbach insisted that a completely stated description or physical theory must include conventional elements, in particular such ""coordinating definitions"" as equal lengths and simultaneous times. These definitions are not bits of knowledge, for such questions as whether or not two rods distant from each other have the same length are not empirically answerable. Hence such coordinations must be regarded as conventions, as definitions, as neither true nor false."" (DSB)
