1974ref. 71462bdNew York: Basic Books Inc. 1974. Octavo brown cloth hardcover top edge blue ix 374 pp. Near-Fine with neat former-owner signature; in a Very Good mylar protected dust jacket with edgewear. From dust jacket: No scientific breakthrough really happens by chance. A theory of relativity demands more than an Einstein says Lewis Feuer. It takes a certain intellectual cimate a decisive tension within the very fabric of society to spur one man’s potential genius into world-shaking achievement. It is Dr. Feuer’s provocative thesis that intergenerational conflict plays a key role in scientific creativity. And in Einstein and the Generations of Science he vividly recreates the unique social political and philosophical milieux in which the extraordinary promise of Einstein -- and scientific contemporaries -- took root and flourished into greatness. In this absorbing intellectual history we come to know Einstein Bohr Heisenberg de Broglie and many others not as formidable theoreticians but as men of high imaginative powers -- influenced by and influencing the social worlds in which they lived. Dr. Feuer portrays them locked in generational conflict with tradition-bound fathers and a rigid scientific establishment. They emerge as men endowed with rare talents strong emotions and very personal ideasabout the nature of social and physical reality. Entering the exhilarating world of Zurich at the turn of the century we meet the young Einstein engaged in debate with comrades of the anti-establishment “Olympia Academ” -- among them the son of a socialist leader who would later assassinate the Austrian prime minister a down-at-the-heels Rumanian and an Italian engineer to whom Einstein first expounds his theory of relativity. We encounter Niels Bohr among sons of the Danish elite; Werner Heisenberg as a member of the nationalistic anti-Semitic German Youth Movement; Louis Victor Prince de Broglie allied to the young Bergsonians of the Third French Republic. Each of these restless brilliant young men were fired by the works of great philosophers -- Mach Kierkegaard Plato Bergson -- and Dr. Feuer shows precisely how they turned the most profound ideas of these thinkers into fuel for scientific advancement.
