More than fifty years after his death, Albert Einstein's vital
engagement with the world continues to inspire others, spurring
conversations, projects, and research, in the sciences as well as
the humanities. Einstein for the 21st Century shows us why he
remains a figure of fascination. In this wide-ranging collection,
eminent artists, historians, scientists, and social scientists
describe Einstein's influence on their work, and consider his
relevance for the future. Scientists discuss how Einstein's vision
continues to motivate them, whether in their quest for a
fundamental description of nature or in their investigations in
chaos theory; art scholars and artists explore his ties to modern
aesthetics; a music historian probes Einstein's musical tastes and
relates them to his outlook in science; historians explore the
interconnections between Einstein's politics, physics, and
philosophy; and other contributors examine his impact on the
innovations of our time. Uniquely cross-disciplinary, Einstein for
the 21st Century serves as a testament to his legacy and speaks to
everyone with an interest in his work. The contributors are Leon
Botstein, Lorraine Daston, E. L. Doctorow, Yehuda Elkana, Yaron
Ezrahi, Michael L. Friedman, Jurg Frohlich, Peter L. Galison, David
Gross, Hanoch Gutfreund, Linda D. Henderson, Dudley Herschbach,
