The General Principle of Relativity: In its Philosophical and Historical Aspect

PROF. WILDON CARR has produced in this little volume a really valuable book. There was an hiatus in the current expositions of the principle of relativity. Its significance and importance had been clearly set forth in their bearing on mathematical physics. But the doctrine had not been connected with its position in the history of general philosophical thought. This Prof. Carr has now done, and with great knowledge of philosophy.
