Excerpt from The Absolute Relations of Time and Space

Einstein's more recent work is extremely analytical in character.

The before and after relations have not been employed at all in its foundation, although it is evident that, if these relations are a sufficient basis for the simple theory, they must play an equally important part in any generalization. Moreover these relations most certainly have a physical significance Whatever theory be the correct one.

A generalization of my own work is evidently possible and, to a certain extent, I can see a method of carrying this out, although I have not as yet worked out the details. (see Appendix.) In the meantime it seemed desirable to write some sort of introduction to my Theory of Time and Space which, while not going into the proofs of theorems, would yet convey to a larger circle of readers the main results arrived at in that work.
