Readings From ‘Albert Einstein: Selected Writings’; Publisher: LeftWord in association with Ocean
Who does not know Albert Einstein (1879-1955), the Nobel Laureate, not only one of the greatest scientists of human kind, but one of the greatest human minds! As we are about to leave behind 2022, and enter the new year 2023, let us leave our past and get into future with the most sobering thoughts of Einstein as expressed in some of his lesser known speeches and writings on humanitarian issues of world peace, human equality, the need for social commitment of intellectuals and leaders, among other issues.
Most of these essays and speeches were recorded before, during and after the World War II and take up issues of disarmament and world peace quite prominently.
I read excerpts from some of these writings collected in the book ‘Selected Writings of Albert Einstein’ edited by Jim Green and published by LeftWord publications in association with Ocean Press in 2004.
This episode has four segments.
