First Edition. Weil 115. HBS52699. At 1921 at the Prussian Acedemy's commemorative session honoring Frederick the Great founder of the Academy Einstein delivered this lecture in which he summed up his views on the geometrization of physics and relativity and the relation of mathematics to the external world. Here he gave his famous answer to the puzzling question of why mathematics should be so well adapted to describing the external world: "Insofar as the Laws of Mathematics refer to the external world they are not certain; and insofar as they are certain they do not refer to reality" D.B.S. Vol. 4 p. 330. A fine copy. This is a mature work of Einstein published when he was 42 years old and in the year he received the Nobel Prize in Physics. Julius Springer unknown
1921ref. 88645Berlin, Julius Springer, 1921, in-8, 20 pp, Broché, couverture crème imprimée de l'éditeur, Première édition de cette conférence prononcée par Einstein (1879-1955) à l'occasion de la séance commémorative de l'Académie prussienne en l'honneur de Frédéric le Grand. Le physicien y résume ses théories sur la géométrisation de la physique et de la relativité, ainsi que sur la relation des mathématiques au monde : "Comment est-il possible que la mathématique, qui est un produit de la pensée humaine et indépendante de toute expérience, puisse s'adapter d'une si admirable manière aux objets de la réalité ? La raison humaine serait-elle donc capable, sans avoir recours à l'expérience, de découvrir par la pensée seule les propriétés des objets réels ?" L'opuscule a été publié l'année où il reçut le prix Nobel. Cachet ex-libris du révolutionnaire Russe et bibliophile Marcel Bekus (1888-1939). Bon exemplaire. Rares rousseurs marginales, agrafes oxydées. Couverture rigide
