Abstract

This paper examines "Free Creations of the Human Mind: The Worlds of Albert Einstein" by Diana Kormos Buchwald and Michael D. Gordin. The authors seek to dispel the long-standing myths of Einstein as the ”lone genius” of Bern and the ”stubborn sage” of Princeton, drawing on newly uncovered archival materials to illuminate his intellectual networks
and collaborative engagements. By exploring the authors’ reasoning, this paper engages with their interpretations, highlighting the strengths of their archival revelations and areas where alternative perspectives may enrich the understanding of Einstein’s intellectual development.
