What does it truly mean to say that nature is relative, not absolute? In this classic relativity treatise, Alfred North Whitehead tackles the structure of space, time and gravitation at their deepest level, setting out the principle of relativity explained with the precision of a mathematician and the insight of a philosopher. The questions are still urgent. Moving beyond popular summaries of the Einstein theory of relativity, he tests its assumptions, reforms its language and follows its consequences into the very mathematical foundations of physics. First published in the early 20th century physics landscape, in the pre quantum relativity era, this philosophy of science classic reads like a Whitehead relativity lectures collection refined onto the page. It is an advanced theoretical physics book that unites rigorous analysis with lucid exposition, ideal as a relativity reference for students, a supplemental reading for physicists, and a rewarding challenge for thoughtful general readers drawn to fundamental ideas about space, time, causality and the nature of scientific theory and explanation. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
