RARE AUTHOR'S PRESENTATION OFFPRINT, INSCRIBED. EINSTEIN, ALBERT. 1879-1955. 'Geometrie und Erfahrung.' Offprint from: Sitzungsberichte der Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften V (27 Januar 1921). Berlin: Preussische Akademie, 1921. 4to (253 x 183 mm). Publisher's printed orange wrappers, with 'Überreicht vom Verfasser' printed upper right, light center crease, partial postmark to rear wrapper where address label was affixed, original address label laid-in, 'Herrn Prof Dr Fritz Behrend/ Preuss. Akademie der Wissenschaften/ Unter der Linden 38.' 'As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.' RARE INSCRIBED COPY OF THE AUTHOR'S PRESENTATION ISSUE OF EINSTEIN'S IMPORTANT TALK ON THE PHILOSOPHY OF MATHEMATICS, inscribed by Einstein above the title at the top of the first leaf: 'Mit freundlichem Gruss / Albert Einstein. 1 III 1921.' This important paper contains his famous, oft-quoted aphorism [in English translation], 'As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.' A milestone in the philosophy of post-relativity science and mathematics, the significance of this statement is amplified when viewed in context of the fact that General Relativity describes the relation between the four-dimensional geometry of spacetime and the energy-momentum contained in that space. This copy inscribed by Einstein for Professor Fritz Behrend of the Prussian Academy where the paper was delivered.
