Kritik des Aufbaus (Syllogismus) der speziellen Relativitätstheorie und Kritik der herrschenden Hypothese der Lichtausbreitung ("Critique of the Structure (Syllogism) of the Special Theory of Relativity and Critique of the Prevailing Hypothesis of the Propagation of Light") is a 1926 German-language pamphlet by the philosopher Ernst Moses Marcus, published in Berlin by Verlag Der Sturm.
Overview
Marcus attacks the logical structure — the implicit "syllogism" — of Einstein's special theory of relativity, and separately criticizes the prevailing hypothesis about the propagation of light. His critique proceeds from a neo-Kantian standpoint: Marcus developed a theory of the aether based on Kant's posthumous Opus Postumum, and argued that relativity was philosophically ill-founded.
About the author
Ernst Moses Marcus (1856–1928) was a German lawyer and philosopher, a follower of Immanuel Kant. From 1924 until his death he published chiefly critical writings on Einstein's relativity. He was one of several neo-Kantian thinkers (with figures such as Paul Natorp and Bruno Bauch) who raised philosophical objections to the theory.
