Albert Einstein, Philosopher-Scientist : The Library of Living Philosophers Volume VII, Hardback Book

Albert Einstein, Philosopher-Scientist : The Library of Living Philosophers Volume VII Hardback

Edited by Paul Arthur Schilpp

Part of the Library of Living Philosophers series

Hardback

Description

Written by the man considered the "Person of the Century" by Time magazine, this is not a glimpse into Einstein's personal life, but an extension and elaboration into his thinking on science.

Two of the great theories of the physical world were created in the early 20th century: the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics.

Einstein created the theory of relativity and was also one of the founders of quantum theory.

Here, Einstein describes the failure of classical mechanics and the rise of the electromagnetic field, the theory of relativity, and of the quanta. Written in German by Einstein himself, the book is faced, page-by-page, with a translation by the noted Professor of Philosophy Paul Arthur Schilpp.
