Condition: Gut. 467 S. : 1 Ill. ; 23 cm; fadengeh. Orig.-Pappband m. OUmschl. Gutes Ex.; Umschlag geringfügig berieben. - Die Einstein-Biographie von Philipp Frank zählt zu den bedeutendsten Zeugnissen von der Persönlichkeit und dem wissenschaftlichen Werk Albert Einsteins. Frank verfaßte das Manuskript von 1939 bis 1941 in deutscher Sprache. Erst 1949 erschien dann die Biographie in Deutschland. Dem Reprint dieser Ausgabe ist ein Vorwort Einsteins vorangestellt, das er 1942 zu dieser Arbeit schrieb, das aber bis heute unveröffentlicht blieb. Anstelle einer Würdigung des Buches sollen drei Sätze aus dem Vorwort von Albert Einstein stehen: "Dieser Mann [Philipp Frank, Anm.d. Red.] hat nämlich ein ungewöhnliches Verständnis für die psychologischen Zusammenhänge, die nicht nur der Entwicklung der wissenschaftlichen Ideen, sondern auch dem Werturteil und dem politischen Fühlen der verschiedenen Generationen zugrundeliegen . Dies und meine Neugier, was da wohl zum Vorschein kommen würde, veranlaßte mich, Dr. Frank zu diesem Buch zu ermutigen . Was ich aber glaube, dem Leser versprechen zu dürfen, das ist dies: er wird kluge, interessante und plausible Erklärungen in diesem Buche finden, die ihm wenigstens zum Teil neu und überraschend sein werden."

First German edition of this classic work by Frank, a famed contemporary of Einstein. Octavo, original cloth. Signed by Albert Einstein on the slip to the title page and inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Karl W. Deutsch with the author's compliments Philipp Frank August 10, 1950." Philipp Frank was a physicist, mathematician and also a philosopher during the first half of the 20th century. He was a logical-positivist, and a member of the Vienna Circle. He was influenced by Mach and was one of the Machists criticised by Lenin in Materialism and Empirio-criticism. He studied physics at the University of Vienna and graduated in 1907 with a thesis in theoretical physics under the supervision of Ludwig Boltzmann. Albert Einstein recommended him as his successor for a professorship at the German Charles-Ferdinand University of Prague, a position which he held from 1912 until 1938. Very good in a good dust jacket. Much has been written about Albert Einstein, technical and biographical, but very little remains as valuable as this unique hybrid of a book written by Einstein's colleague and contemporary. Both rich in personal insights and grounded in a deep knowledge of twentieth-century science, Phillip Frank's biography anchors the reader with a lucid overview of physics and draws an intimate portrait of the Nobel Prizeâ"winner. …
