Why Einstein may have had good reason to oppose the geometrization of gravity in general relativity. — •Femke Kuiling — University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA

Using Einstein's Methodological Realism (Lehner 2014), I strengthen Lehmkuhl's argument for why Einstein refused to conclude (as most others have) that General Relativity somehow reduces gravity to geometry.
