This work views Einstein's Autobiographical Notes , a classic in the history of science, as a key to opening up a new perspective on Einstein's intellectual life, from childhood to old age, and to reconstructing the becoming of this philosophical scientist. Scientific reflections and personal correspondence add to this compelling portrait of Albert Einstein.
