Probable attribution
A source trail connects this quotation to Albert Einstein and Albert Einstein, conversation with Prince Hubertus zu Loewenstein circa 1941, recalled in Towards the Further Shore (1968), but the exact English wording has not been confirmed in a primary text. The attribution is therefore probable rather than definitive.
Likely origin: Albert Einstein, conversation with Prince Hubertus zu Loewenstein circa 1941, recalled in Towards the Further Shore (1968)
Review the attribution sourceAbout this quote
This page records the wording "In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I,…," which centers on harmony, cosmos, limited. A concrete trail points toward Einstein, but the exact English form remains unconfirmed; the page therefore labels it as attributed to him while preserving its philosophy and science context.
When to use it
- Use "In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I,…" in a philosophy discussion, then ask which concrete claim the wording makes.
- Compare its treatment of harmony with cosmos in a lesson, essay, or editorial note before drawing a conclusion.
- Before sharing it as Einstein's exact words, display the attribution caveat and follow the evidence link recorded on the page.
