title SUMMARY /title The 1920 manuscript by Einstein entitled: Vorlesungen ber Relativittstheorie points out paradigmatically all the preparations of the Special Theory of Relativity, the importance and the role of this theory in the General Theory of Relativity, the passage from a "Special Theory of Relativity" to a "general" one, and the doubts and certainties of its inventor, all that from a point of view of one of the most important issues of the history modem science: the problem of Ether definition. Just the Ether Theory, filtered through H. A. Lorentz's Theory, becomes in Einstein an "Inertial case" of the Classical Principle of Relativity and then, losing all its mechanical qualities, becomes Gravitational Theory in H. Weyl's phenomenological point of view.
