“…When a truth is necessary, its reason can be found by analysis, resolving it into simpler ideas and simpler truths until we reach the primitives. (Ariew & Garber, 1989, p. 217) 25. Thomas Kuhn's (1962 The Structure of Scientific Revolutions was instrumental in initiating a new approach in philosophy of science that turned away from logical positivism and 'development-by-accumulation' to incommensurability and an approach based on radical conceptual discontinuity, although later scholars rediscovered striking parallels between Kuhn and early accounts of logical positivism, especially with Carnap, see Michael Friedman (2012) 'Kuhn and Philosophy' .…”

“…The postulation of two entities, space and time, without any obvious measurable properties, was suspicious for several thinkers. Gottfried W. Leibniz, in his correspondence with the British thinker Samuel Clarke [4], defended a relationalist view of space and time and attacked the absolute conceptions of Clarke and Newton. Leibniz was a major continental rationalist.…”

I present a discussion of some open issues in the philosophy of space-time theories. Emphasis is put on the ontological nature of space and time, the relation between determinism and predictability, the origin of irreversible processes in an expanding Universe, and the compatibility of relativity and quantum mechanics. In particular, I argue for a Parmenidean view of time and change, I make clear the difference between ontological determinism and predictability, propose that the origin of the asymmetry observed in physical processes is related to the existence of cosmological horizons, and present a non-local concept of causality that can accommodate both special relativity and quantum entanglement.

This paper is divided into two parts, this being the first one. The second is entitled 'Historical and Epistemological Reflections on the Culture of Machines around Renaissance: Machines, Machineries and Perpetual Motion' and will be published in Acta Baltica Historiae et Philosophiae Scientiarum in 2015. Based on our recent studies, we provide here a historical and epistemological feature on the role played by machines and machineries. Ours is an epistemological thesis based on a series of historical examples to show that the relations between theoretical science and the construction of machines cannot be taken for granted, a priori. Our analysis is mainly based on the culture of machines around 15 th and 17 th centuries, namely the epoch of Late Renaissance and Early Modern Age. For this is the period of scientific revolution and this age offers abundant interesting material for researches into the relations of theoretical science/construction of machines as well. However, to prove our epistemological thesis, we will also exploit examples of machines built in other historical periods. Particularly, a discussion concerning the relationship between science theory and the development of science art crafts produced by non-recognized scientists in a certain historical time is presented. The main questions are: when and why did the
