摘 要:The publication of the Collected Papers of Albert Einstein has been a long-standing editorial project. So far, nine volumes of Einstein’s collected writings and correspondence have been published since 1987 (with one double volume). They cover Einstein’s life and work from 1879 to 1921. The tenth volume of correspondence is due to appear in fall 2006. Albert Einstein (1879~1955), whose 125 th birthday we are celebrating March 14, lived in Germany, Switzerland, and eventually the United States, through six major epochs of modern history: the Wilhelmine Empire, World War I, the Weimar Republic, Fascism, World War II, and the post-war period. He had been the prime mover of the transformation of modern physics, starting with the publication of his revolutionary papers on the photoelectric effect and on the special theory of relativity in what we call “the miraculous year 1905, and became the most important scientist after Isaac *** never wished for a memorial, and insisted that his ashes be scattered at an undisclosed location. The Einstein Papers Project is our intellectual memorial to his life and work.
