The past decade has seen a considerable surge of interest in
historical and philo sophical studies of gravitation and
relativity, due not only to the tremendous amount of world-wide
research in general relativity and its theoretical and
observational consequences, but also to an increasing awareness
that a collaboration between working scientists, historians and
philosophers of science is, in this field, partic ularly promising
for all participants. The expanding activity in this field is well
documented by recent volumes in this Einstein Studies series on the
History of General Relativity as well as by a series of
international conferences on this topic at Osgood Hill (1986),
Luminy (1988), and Pittsburgh (1991). The fourth of these
conferences, hosted by the Max Planck Institute for the History of
Science, was held in Berlin from 31 July to 3 August 1995, with a
record attendance of some 80 historians and philosophers of
science, physicists, mathematicians, and as tronomers. Based on
presentations at the Berlin conference, this volume provides an
overview of the present state of research in this field,
documenting not only the increasing scope of recent investigations
in the history of relativity and gravitation but also the emergence
of several key issues that will probably remain at the focus of
debate in the near future. RELATIVITY IN THE MAKING The papers of
this section deal with the origins and genesis of relativity
theory."
