When the human being reflects on the phenomena that occur in his environment, he does so from the references that his education gives him and expresses it with the language that he uses. However, as time passes, cultural patterns change, becoming enriched with new concepts, definitions and values; likewise, the meaning and variety of the words with which they express them. Therefore, throughout history, the perception of the phenomena that we describe as “reality” will change.
This work shows this process by treating the description of nature from a philosophical and observational point of view, concentrating on astronomical explanations and some mechanical phenomena.
This work offers a guide to understanding the Philosophy of Science and the History of Physics.
