Written by the man considered the "Person of the Century" by Time magazine, this is not a glimpse into Einstein's personal life, but an extension and elaboration into his thinking on science.

Einsteins Rationalismus übt eine ebenso heilsame Funktion aus. Der algebraische Begriff der Raum-Zeit schützt uns davor, Bilder zu popularisieren. Er befreit uns vor einer pseudotiefen Träumerei über Raum und Zeit. Besonders schließt er den Irrationalismus aus, der mit dem Begriff der unermeßlichen Dauer verknüft ist. Das Gemüt ruht in der Wahrheit seiner Konstruktion [Seite 421]
