Thomas Ryckman Book order

Albert Einstein was the most influential physicist of the 20th century. In this much-needed book, Tom Ryckman demystifies Einstein's revolutionary theories of time and space and provides a brilliant philosophical introduction to his work and legacy.

Universally recognized as bringing about a transformation of the notions of space, time, and motion in physics, Einstein's theory of gravitation, known as general relativity, was also a defining event for 20th century philosophy of science. This book looks at the argument that the path actually taken contributed to the impasse over realism.
