内容提要:	"Why did Einstein tirelessly study unified field theory for more than 30 years? In this book, the author argues that Einstein believed he could find a unified theory of all of nature`s forces by repeating the methods he used when he formulated general relativity. The book discusses Einstein`s route to the general theory of relativity, focusing on the philosophical lessons that he learnt. It then addresses his quest for a unified theory for electromagnetism and gravity, discussing in detail his efforts with Kaluza-Klein and, surprisingly, the theory of spinors. From these perspectives, Einstein`s critical stance towards the quantum theory comes to stand in a new light. This book will be of interest to physicists, historians and philosophers of science"--
