Einstein's Jewish Science

Meer over het boek

The book delves into the intersection of science and ideology, examining how the Nazis labeled Einstein's theory of relativity as "Jewish science." Steven Gimbel analyzes the implications of this term, exploring its historical context and the philosophical questions it raises about the nature of scientific theories and cultural identity. Through this lens, he investigates whether there is a legitimate connection between Einstein's groundbreaking work and Jewish identity, challenging preconceived notions about science and ethnicity.
