This greatest physicist and mathematician of our time is interesting to most people primarily as an outstanding personality and a person capable of thinking in non-standard categories.
Perhaps, as a philosopher, he deserves no less recognition than as a scientist. His reflections on life, freedom, the role of intelligence, wealth and the importance of a spiritual relationship to the world around them will induce someone to change their own views on many things that seem very important today.
The dates of some of the aphorisms and quotations of the scientist are especially interesting. They should be correlated with the events taking place in the world. These thoughts have not lost their relevance today, many decades later.
