In this article we pay tribute to Herbert Dingle for his early call to re-assessspecial relativity from philosophical and logical perspectives.[1] However, we disagree withDingle about a number of issues particularly his failure to distinguish between the scientificessence of special relativity (as represented by the experimentally-supported Lorentz transformations and their formal implications and consequences which we call “the mechanics ofLorentz transformations”) and the logically inconsistent interpretation of Einstein (whichis largely based on the philosophical and epistemological views of Poincare). We also disagree with him about his manner and attitude which he adopted in his campaign againstspecial relativity although we generally agree with him about the necessity of impartialityof the scientific community and the scientific press towards scientific theories and opinionsas well as the necessity of total respect to the ethics ofscience and the rules of moralconduct in general.
