Quote of the Day

"I cannot imagine a God, who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty."

- Albert Einstein, Living Philosophies XIII

Einstein’s philosophical education made a profound difference in the way he did physics. But his interest in the philosophy of science went further. By the 1930s he had become an active participant in the development of the freestanding discipline of the philosophy of science. His role evolved largely through his personal and professional relations with many of the era’s most important philosophers, mainly the founders of the tradition known as logical empiricism.
