Gegenuber dem lange vorherrschenden Zerrbild des Wiener Kreises als einheitlicher und philosophisch naiver Schule werden hier durch Erhellung des Kontextes der einzelnen Arbeiten und das Aufzeigen von internen wie externen Beziehungen sowohl die Eigentumlichkeit als auch die kontinuierliche Weiterentwicklung von Schlicks Denken deutlich.

Talks about Einstein's theory of relativity and its paradigm-shifting implications for philosophy and common-sense notions of reality. Explaining both the special and general theories of relativity, this book introduces readers to Einstein's theories and the importance of the physicist's contributions.
