Title : How I See the World - Albert Einstein - book
Summary :
Who has never heard of Albert Einstein? Of his great discoveries? His genius was unanimously acclaimed, his name was placed on the same level as that of Descartes, Galileo or Newton. But it took the tragic appearance of Nazism, the Second World War and all its consequences to reveal, behind the great figure of the scientist, a man of exemplary humanity, a supporter of understanding between peoples, an attentive observer of the world. This work gives an account, from texts written between 1930 and 1935, of the major questions on which this solitary genius wished to explain himself publicly: pacifism, the fight against National Socialism, the defense of Judaism, religion and science, moral culture, education; and his admiration for some great personalities, such as Hendrik A. Lorentz, George B. Shaw, Bertrand Russell. It also deals with major scientific problems, including the theory of special and general relativity, Newton's mechanics, the influence of Maxwell... All subjects which lead Einstein to question scientific truth and the responsibilities of the scientist in the face of history.
