| dc.description.abstract | Einstein acknowledged that his reading of Hume influenced the development of his special theory of relativity.
In this article, I juxtapose Hume’s philosophy with Einstein’s philosophical analysis related to his special
relativity. I argue that there are two common points to be found in their writings, namely an empiricist theory
of ideas and concepts, and a relationist ontology regarding space and time. The main thesis of this article is that
these two points are intertwined in Hume and Einstein. | |
