Postscript
further comments on what Einstein, Lorentz, Planck, and Poincaré did — circa 1905
pp. 237-251
Abstract
Zahar's (1978) rejoinder to Essay 5 is based on historical and scientific points that are substantively incorrect. I address this Postscript to these points, which also affords me the opportunity to enlarge on certain aspects of the reception of special relativity that are at times misunderstood.
