Work
Stieb is the author of Die Raum/Zeit Problematik: Untersuchung einer physikalischen Kontroverse im Zusammenhang philosophischer Begründbarkeit ("The Space/Time Problematic: Investigation of a Physical Controversy in the Context of Philosophical Justifiability"), published in Munich in 1985. The book investigates the controversy surrounding the concepts of space and time in physics and the philosophical grounds on which competing positions can be justified, engaging critically with the space-time framework of relativity theory. This critical stance places him among the dissenting voices catalogued by de Climont.
