My Princetonians: 1949 - 1952

The book provides a view of the extraordinary people¿philosophers, scientists, and scholars¿whom the author encountered in Princeton in the years 1949-1952. It gives some account of who they were, what they did, and how they provided the author with incentive and inspiration. The 1950s were of another era, and the Princeton of the day was another world. As a young scholar in those days, the author came into contact with many interesting people, including Einstein, Gödel, and von Neumann. The book describes how these encounters occurred and what impression they left.
