    This is one of the clearest expositions in laypersons terms of Einsteins theory of relativity and its paradigm-shifting implications for philosophy and commonsense notions of reality. Moritz Schlick, the influential German philosopher and leader of the positivist school of philosophy known as the Vienna Circle, wrote this short work in 1919 specifically to introduce readers unfamiliar with Einsteins theories to the profound importance of the physicists immense contributions. Einstein himself reviewed Schlicks work before publication and is thanked in the preface for giving me many useful hints.With a talent for illustrative analogies and a concise, lucid style of presentation, Schlick explains both the special and the general theories of relativity. Beginning with the older Newtonian view of space, time, and the laws governing matter, the author proceeds to show how Einsteins theories solved certain problems inherent in the old view and provided a radical new conception of reality. Separate chapters discuss the special principle of relativity, the geometrical relativity of space, the mathematical formulation of special relativity, the inseparability of geometry and physics in experience, the relativity of motions and the connection with inertia and gravitation, the general theory of relativity, the significance of Einsteins fundamental new law, the finitude of the universe, and the impact of Einsteins ideas on philosophy.Since their original publication, numerous experiments have confirmed Einsteins ideas. Thus, Schlicks work continues to be a valuable and highly accessible explication of one of sciences most enduring achievements.
