(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2002) Staruszkiewicz, Andrzej
The subject of considerations in this work are Einstein's and Dirac's views on theoretical physics.
Using as an example the Euclidean geometry and its epistemological status through the ages, the
author outlines the basic philosophy of the modern theoretical physics, emphasising in particular
the prominent role of ideas of simplicity and beauty as the guiding principles of research in
theoretical physics.
