Carl Hempel began his studies of philosophy, physics and mathematics..
Carl Gustav Hempel started his education at the University of Berlin, where Hans Reichenbach was one of his teachers. Hempel thought that using symbolic reasoning was the key to solving many philosophical problems. He was determined to figure out how scientific ideas affect people's thinking. His goal was to show that these scientific theories, which affected philosophers in the 20th century, were wrong or right. (Fetzer).
