Why did Einstein tirelessly study unified field theory for more
than thirty years? In this book, the author argues that Einstein
believed he could find a unified theory of all of nature's forces
by repeating the methods he thought he had used when he formulated
general relativity. The book discusses Einstein's route to the
general theory of relativity, focusing on the philosophical lessons
that he learnt. It then addresses his quest for a unified theory
for electromagnetism and gravity, discussing in detail his efforts
with Kaluza-Klein and, surprisingly, the theory of spinors. From
these perspectives, Einstein's critical stance towards the quantum
theory comes to stand in a new light. This book will be of interest
to physicists, historians and philosophers of science.
