description: "Carl Gustav \"Peter\" Hempel was a German writer, philosopher, logician, and epistemologist. He was a major figure in logical empiricism, a 20th-century movement in the philosophy of science. Hempel articulated the deductive-nomological model of scientific explanation, which was considered the \"standard model\" of scientific explanation during the 1950s and 1960s. He is also known for the raven paradox and Hempel's dilemma."
