EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955). Autograph postcard signed (‘A. Einstein’) to M[oritz] Schlick, n.p. [Berlin], n.d. [1 April 1917].
In German. One page, 140 x 90mm.
In an early letter from their correspondence, Einstein commends Moritz Schlick on his philosophical introduction to General Relativity. Einstein thanks Schlick for [the article] he has sent his splendid work has already advanced understanding of the theory, and Einstein approves of the small change Schlick is planning (‘Ihre vortreffliche Arbeit hat schon manchem das Verständnis der Theorie vermittelt’). It would please Einstein greatly if Schlick were to call on him again: ‘Then we can also discuss the question of the constitution of Space’ ('Dann können wir uns auch über die Frage der Konstitution des Raumes unterhalten'). He ends recommending an old friend, [Ludwig] Hopf, a physicist at Adlershof, to Schlick.
On the 4 February 1917, Moritz Schlick wrote to Einstein, enclosing and requesting his approval for an article he had written for the journal Die Naturwissenschaften entitled ‘Raum und Zeit in der gegenwaertigen Physik’. The article, which would be published later that year, built on Schlick’s 1915 work, Die philosophische Bedeutung des Relativitätsprinzips: here, Einstein replies to the letter, crediting Schlick’s work for its role in the wider academic exploration and understanding of his theory of General Relativity. Indeed, this had been Schlick’s express aim: in his letter to Einstein, he had written ‘My main goal was to make the account as easy to understand as possible. Is it really so much to wish that the principles of General Relativity should soon be well-known and understood everywhere, not only on the grounds of physics, but of philosophy?’.
