Written by the man considered the "Person of the Century" by Time magazine, this is not a glimpse into Einstein's personal life, but an extension and elaboration into his thinking on science. Two of the great theories of the physical world were created in the early 20th century: the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. Einstein created the theory of relativity and was also one of the founders of quantum theory. Here, Einstein describes the failure of classical mechanics and the rise of the electromagnetic field, the theory of relativity, and of the quanta. Written in German by Einstein himself, the book is faced, page-by-page, with a translation by the noted Professor of Philosophy Paul Arthur Schilpp.

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).

It features essays by Einstein himself, as well as critical analyses from leading scholars, addressing his influence on physics, epistemology, and the broader scientific community.
