Abstract: Starting from the thesis that the philosophy of physics is taught in all courses of physics, including college general physics, the author urges teachers to become more articulate in their expressions in view of the ideological inferences being drawn by certain national groups. He illustrates his concern with three examples of modern physics, namely, relativity theory, concept of mass, and quantum mechanics. In each case he notes the Soviet interpretations, particularly as expounded by Professor A. F. Ioffé in his book Basic Concepts in Contemporary Physics.
