Implicaciones gnoseológicas de la teoría de la relatividad

Abstract

The principal arguments that will be develop on this present work, pretend to establish which are the fundamental implications from Albert Einstein’s theory with some categories that can be used in the theory of knowledge, such as: perception, fact and truthful criteria. For this, you need to part from the theoretic concepts of perception and facts. In the case of the first concept the analysis is fundament on two different points of views, the first being the one that interprets the perception from the physiological perspective and the second one, interpreted form a philosophical perspective using the postulates of phenomenology. All this with the objective of establishing the theoretic development about these concepts independently of the Theory of Relativity, that represent the starting point of this thesis. Following this, theirs a representation of the actual concepts, with out taking in consideration the mathematical aspects of the Theory of Relativity, that might show important results for the Theory of Knowledge concerning the concepts of perception, which is a fact and a truthfull criteria that constitutes fundamental elements of this last Theory. The main result that comes out of this project, consists of, the establishment of certain cases in which the classic criteria of truth, known as the criteria of correspondence is not valid, while forming essential part of the Popperian Epistemology, allow the establishment of limits of the previous theory shown, the needs for new criteria at the moment of rational reconstruction of the scientific theories.
