Interweaving science and metaphisics, Principle of Relativity presents what is commonly acknowledged as the most interesting alternative to Einstein's general theory of relativity. Originally published in 1922 this edition includes an introduction by Amit Hagar.

This classic text in American Philosophy by one of the foremost figures in American philosophy offers a concise analysis of the various factors in human nature which go toward forming a religion, to exhibit the inevitable transformation of religion with the transformation of knowledge and to direct attention to the foundation of religion on our apprehension of those permanent elements by reason of which there is a stable order in the world, permanent elements apart from which there could be no changing world.

Excerpt from The Principle of Relativity: With Applications to Physical Science The book is divided into three parts. Part I is con cerned with general principles and may roughly be described as mainly philosophical in character. Part II is devoted to the physical applications and deals with the particular results deducible from the formulae assumed for the gravitational and electromagnetic fields. In relation to the spectral lines these formulae would require a 'limb effect' and a duplication or a triplication of indi vidual lines, analogous to phenomena already observed. Part III is an exposition of the elementary theory of tensors. This Part has been added for one reason because it may be useful to many mathematicians who may be puzzled by some of the formulae and procedures of Part II. But this Part is also required by another reason. The theory of tensors is usually expounded under the guise of geometrical metaphors which entirely mask the type of application which I give to it in this work. For example, the whole idea of any 'fundamental tensor' is foreign to my purpose and impedes the comprehension of my applications. The order in which the parts should be studied will depend upon the psychology of the reader. I have placed them in the order natural to my own mind, namely, general principles, particular applications, and finally the general exposition of the mathematical theory of which special examples have occurred in the discussion of the applications. But a physicist may prefer to start with Part II, referring back to a few formulae which have been mentioned at the end of Part I, and a mathematician may start with Part III. The whole evidence requires a consideration of the three Parts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
