Abstract
Reichenbach views scientific knowledge as the paradigm for constructing a general theory of knowledge. This dissertation is an analysis of how Reichenbach's epistemology is modeled on his analysis of science (i.e., his philosophy of science). In his analysis of science, Reichenbach's works are concerned with three major topics: space, time and induction. The dissertation attempts to show that his analyses of these topics follow a consistent pattern.
