It is a common belief that Albert Einstein was a brilliant physicist. Less common, however, is the realization that he was also an outstanding philosopher. Besides, Einstein himself - paradoxical as it may seem - considered himself first and foremost a philosopher and only secondarily a physicist. This was a well-known fact and treated with all seriousness by his contemporaries.
Einstein's writings are grouped into four chapters. Since some of the writings are multifaceted, for this reason their location within a chapter is conventional. In each chapter (with the exception of the first, which contains only one paper), the texts are arranged chronologically. Such an arrangement highlights the evolution of Einstein's views, on those issues where it actually took place.
