Reception
The historian Peter Gay wrote that Aspects of Scientific Explanation was "seminal" and "indispensable", writing that Hempel persuasively argued that "the logic of history and that of the natural sciences are the same."[1] Gay observed that Hempel's essay "The Function of General Laws in History" is a "much debated classic".[2] The philosopher Michael Friedman described the book as one of the most important works in philosophy of science written after World War II.[3]
