Albert Einstein: Philosopher-Scientist (Library of Living Philosophers Series), edited by Paul Arthur Schilpp. Hardcover Second Edition, 4th Printing (printed 1957), in Good+ condition without a dust jacket. Blue cloth-covered boards feature a black title block near the head of the spine, complemented by gold lettering, including Einstein's signature embossed on the front cover. The covers remain in good shape, with a light 2-inch scratch near the bottom of the spine and a small frayed spot at the tail of the front edge, approximately 1.5 inches from the front corner. There is light rubbing to the corners and spine caps, and the spine print is slightly faded at the publisher's name. The binding exhibits a touch of flex, typical for thicker volumes of this kind, but the hinges are intact and unbroken. The front flyleaf shows minor abrasion. Interior pages are clean and unmarked, with light tanning consistent with the book's age (70+ years).

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. 1st Edition. EINSTEIN, ALBERT (1879-1955) Theoretical physicist. The book: Albert Einstein: Philosopher-Scientist, boldly Signed on the limitation page ''Albert Einstein 49.'' Copy 7 of 760. [The first 10 copies were reserved for special presentations.] The Library of Living Philosophers, Evanston Illinois. Small quarto, top edge gilt, 779 pages, 1949. Additionally inscribed and signed on half title page by Paul Arthur Schilpp [the editor]: ''To Dr. Barnaby C. Keeny, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, with the sincere gratitude and appreciation of Paul A. Schilpp. Summer 1969''. [Keeny was previously President of Brown University, and under his leadership saw some of Brown's largest expansions.] Chocolate brown leatherette covers with gilt lettering, in excellent condition. This copy does not have the frontis portrait of Einstein, nor does it appear to ever have had one, as the pagination is complete, with many pages uncut, unread, and unopened. Original brown board slipcase as issued. AN OUTSTANDING ASSOCIATION COPY OF AN ESSENTIAL EINSTEIN ITEM, AND AN IMPORTANT BOOK IN THE EINSTEIN CANON. The seventh volume in ''The Library of Living Philosophers'' series, Albert Einstein: Philosopher-Scientist is a tribute volume with essays by some of the most important scientists of the era reflecting on the importance of Einstein's work. Contributors include: Wolfgang Pauli, Louis de Broglie, Max Born, Arnold Sommerfeld, Georges Lemaitre, Kurt Gödel, and many more. Of special note is the essay by Niels Bohr, 'Discussion with Einstein on Epistemological Problems in Atomic Physics', which gives Bohr's perspective of the famous Einstein-Bohr debates. As Paul Schilpp notes in his Preface, 'These recollections of conversations with Einstein on the epistemological aspects of physical science would never have come into being, were it not for the peculiar nature of this series.' Einstein s important ''Autobiographical Notes'', [the first chapter], in German and English, and the final chapter by Einstein entitled: ''Remarks to the Essays Appearing in this Collective Volume'' are important biographical references. The ''Autobiographical Notes'' is the ''closest Einstein ever came to writing an autobiography'' (Abraham Pais). (Science, 21 April 1950) called this book a: ''most important and significant volume. It is most difficult to get scientists to write simply and clearly about the fundamentals of their science and the leading philosophical ideas that guide them In this book there is played out a great scientific drama of the last two decadesThe book starts with an intellectual autobiography by Einstein himself. He satirically calls it his obituary. I know of no other to compare with it. Neither Newton nor Maxwell nor any of the other great giants of physics had his Schilpp [the editor and our presenter] to catalyze such an effort. After reading Einstein's article one realizes the great loss this is to scientific culture''. A 'must have' for any serious collector of Einstein.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good+. First edition. Large 8vo. [4], v-xvi, [1], 2-781, [3] pp. Blue cloth with gold lettering on the front board and spine. Edited by Paul Arthur Schilpp. Volume seven of the Library of Living Philosophers. Boni 512. Contains Einstein's autobiography, a bibliography of his work, twenty-five scholar's discussions of Einstein's work and achievements, with Einstein's replies to these various scholars. Includes essays by Bohr, Born, Reichenbach, Pauli, and the well-known essay by Godel in which he argues (based upon his solutions to the field equations of general relativity in 1949) that Parmenides was right in that change is an illusion based upon our conceptual framework and our sensory perceptions. An exceptional copy of this fascinating study of the scientist who so profoundly shaped the twentieth century. A tiny spot of foxing to the bottom edge of the first few leaves; jacket is price-clipped but still quite attractive.

The dust jacket is quite worn (see photos). First Edition. SIGNED BY ALBERT EINSTEIN TO JOHN KEMENY: "Meinem lieben Kemeny/ A. Einstein 50". "In 1943, Kemeny entered Princeton University where he studied mathematics and philosophy, but he took a year off during his studies to work on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where his boss was Richard Feynman. He also worked there with John von Neumann. Returning to Princeton, Kemeny graduated with an A.B. in mathematics in 1946 after completing a senior thesis, titled 'Equivalent logical systems', under the supervision of Alonzo Church. He then remained at Princeton to pursue graduate studies and received a Ph.D. in mathematics in 1949 after completing a doctoral dissertation, titled 'Type-theory vs. set-theory', also under the supervision of Alonzo Church. He worked as Albert Einstein's mathematical assistant during graduate school" (Wikipedia article on John Kemeny). "At age 22, a year before he earned his Ph.D., Kemeny became Albert Einstein's mathematical assistant. I once asked him why Dr. Einstein, of all people, needed a mathematician. With that gentle, mustached smile, John said, 'Einstein wasn't very good at math' (Campion, "True Basic. A Sketch of John Kemeny for the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine"; a .pdf of this article can be found online). "People would ask did you know enough physics to help Einstein? My standard line was: Einstein did not need help in physics. But contrary to popular belief, Einstein did need help in mathematics. By which I do not mean that he wasn't good at mathematics. He was very good at it, but he was not an up-to-date research level mathematician. His assistants were mathematicians for two reasons. First of all, in just ordinary calculations, anybody makes mistakes. There were many long calculations, deriving one formula from another to solve a differential equation. They go on forever. Any number of times we got the wrong answer. Sometimes one of us got the wrong answer, sometimes the other. The calculations were long enough that if you got the same answer at the end, you were confident. So he needed an assistant for that, and, frankly, I was more up-to-date in mathematics than he was" (ask me for the source of this quote and I will tell you). A biography of John Kemeny was published in 2019: John G. Kemeny and Dartmouth College: The Man, the Times, and the College Presidency by Stephen Nelson. The book incorporates material from Kemeny's unpublished autobiography and includes a couple pages on how Kemeny became Einstein's mathematical assistant and their interaction when he was. NOTE: I am offering the trade edition of Albert Einstein: Philosopher-Scientist. There was also a limited and signed edition published in 1949 of 760 copies. Given the celebrity of Einstein, copies of the limited and signed edition always seem to be available (as I write this, six such copies are for sale online). They are nicely done, with the top edge gilt, and with a slipcase, so they are more sumptuous than the trade edition, and with the limited and signed edition of this book, you know you have a genuine Einstein signature. BUT: There is nothing personal about these copies (in rare instances Einstein did add a personal inscription to a limited and signed copy). So aside from differences in condition, these 760 copies are identical (unless you think a copy with a lower number is better than one with a higher number). The copy of the trade edition I am offering is in a very different category, because it was inscribed, and given personally, by Einstein to the recipient. And the recipient was someone who mattered to him. John Kemeny was a graduate student at Princeton when he became Einstein's mathematical assistant. This copy was Einstein's gift to "my dear Kemeny". The fact that John Kemeny went on to fame. Signed by Author(s).
