Einstein and Soviet Ideology Hardcover - 2002 - 1st Edition

by Alexander Vucinich


From the publisher

This book traces the historical trajectory of one of the most momentous confrontations in the intellectual life of the Soviet Union-the conflict between Einstein's theory of relativity and official Soviet ideology embodied in dialectical materialism. It describes how Soviet attitudes toward Einstein's theory of relativity changed again and again during the eras of Soviet history: pre-Stalin, Stalin, post-Stalin, and perestroika.

From the rear cover

"Vucinich's book will interest historians of science. . . . Upper-division undergraduates through faculty."--Choice
"This book will be of interest to historians and philosophers of science. . . . Both in person and his writings, Alexander Vucinich made difficult subjects accessible and provided the foundations for others to extend studies into the history and philosophy of Soviet science."--Slavic Review
