Knowledge Theory And Its Adaptation In Situations

Knowledge theory and its adaptation in situations

A theory is established based on common and related factors, with which a perspective adopted in the face of a situation is reflected. Theories are used in science in order to explain, control and/or speculate what will happen to a certain situation or phenomenon. While a fact is not required to postulate a theory, it is through them that the theory can be tested, and evaluate its veracity. On the other hand, a fact is something that has happened, it is verifiable and irrefutable, which is why we can verify a theory, because it is based that we can show if it will be fulfilled previously postulated, as we can see in a simpleFor example, we can postulate a theory which says "if a rock is released in height, it will fall to the surface" to check this theory is enough to release a rock to a certain height and see if it really falls to the surface, ifThis is fulfilled, it is a fact that the rock fell as predicted in the theory, so the theory is successful, however it should be emphasized that theories have exceptions, which are particular situations where under certain specific factors the theory does notIt will be fulfilled, which does not mean that the theory is wrong, but that as mentioned is a particular situation which produces this exception.

If a theory does not depend on a fact, but nevertheless, through this it can be proven, then to what extent do the facts influence the veracity of theories? O How do the interpretation of the facts influence theories?, As previously stressed, it is the facts who prove a theory, but if this time we wanted?.

To address these questions, and go in search of an answer to them, we will work with two areas of knowledge, we will first enter the natural sciences, to later reach the human sciences.

In the natural sciences, scientists use the scientific method to postulate theories, which consists of the identification of a situation, ask a question about the situation, ask a hypothesis and perform a prediction from it, and finally check the basic hypothesisIn a fact, it is with the help of this method that scientists manage to reach an answer to the question that have been raised, a true answer and verified by a fact;In this way, based on facts and the interpretation that is given, theories are established, “a scientific theory is a way of interpreting the natural world.”(Allott, Mindorff & Azcue, 2014), the fact is established and proven through a situation or proof, which can be repeated on different occasions to prevent an error and check its veracity, an example of this is cellular cell theory, where Robert Hooke worried about observing different structures before postulating his theory, “neither is this type of texture only of the cork, because with the microscope I have observed that the marrow of the Saúco or almost any other tree, the inner marrow ofThe gap woody stems of many other vegetables, such as fennel, carts, Daucus gender plants, bardanas, cardinals, ferns, some species of reeds, etc., They have a large extent a type of "schematism" like the one I have recently observed in the cork.”(Allott, Mindorff & Azcue, 2014).

It should be noted that it is important to maintain the conditions and procedure through which the fact is proven to not obtain different results, when supporting the theory with a fact this surrender greater reliability, since through it we can verify it, it is enough to performA test, but whenever we perform this test under the same conditions and procedure, we will obtain the same result?.

As mentioned initially, theories have exceptions, for example, cell theory has exceptions, since certain organisms and tissues have been discovered that do not have normal cells such as the prion (infectious agent), so they are not part ofCell theory.

On the other hand, theories are refuted or modified over the years, this since new methods can arise to reach an answer to the question raised, which can be thanks to the technological advances that are being developed with the passingFrom the years, science is enriched day by day, with new discoveries, theories and tools, so the emergence of new thoughts or points of view is not alien, sometimes the old theories being victims of this, a clear exampleOf this something as important as the atomic model, since the atom is the smallest particle that has been discovered so far, the first atomic model was Dalton, postulated in 1808, and then pass through the Lewis model in 1902,And so on to reach the current Atomic model of Schrödinger in 1926. It is important that the approach of a theory can be subject to the interpretation of the postulates, because with respect to the same different experiment, they can have different points of view of the same result, so that contrary interpretations can be generated, and byconsequently different theories.

In human sciences, as in natural sciences, the facts are used to establish theories. Those who formulate theories are mainly historians, it is they who study, analyze, compare and contrast the facts, in order to formulate a theory, but what is considered a fact in the human sciences?, In this area of knowledge, the facts are events that have occurred in the past, so it is not possibleBoth wars, as treaties, agreements or expeditions, a simple example of a historical fact can be the EE entrance. UU. to the allied side in World War II, and the subsequent victory of said side. This fact is something that happened in the past, there is evidence of this, and there is no way to refute it.

As mentioned above, the facts are subject to interpretations, and through them theories arise, taking into account the fact raised, the following question arises. What would have happened if EE. UU. I would not have entered World War II to be part of the allied side?, We can get to an answer to this question with the following theory of the German historian George Dvorsky, who under his interpretation of the facts, states that the EE entrance. UU. It considerably inclined the war in favor of the allies, since it was of the utmost importance in terms of military contribution for the allied side, having a key role in the outcome of the war. “Great Britain and its colonial allies would have run out of military help.”,“ The Soviet Union would probably have defeated Germany finally, but it would have taken considerably longer.”(Dvorsky, 2014)

However, what would have happened if George Dvorsky had another point of view?, What would have happened if George Dvorsky was not German, but of Russian nationality?, Both are subjective questions, as well as the interpretation of the facts by the historian, because when these questions arise, it could be concluded that considering the German nationality of the historian, being his country of birth highly related to the factsTo question, you can your point of view with respect to them be influenced, altering their interpretation of the facts, reaching an unimportant theory and influenced by their nationalities.

The theories are postulated based on facts, because according to the interpretation that can be given to a fact based on a question presented previously, a point of view on it will be adopted, and with it, raise a theory, it should be noted that aTheory corresponds to the reflection of a fact, under which the theory is based, “in every science that is on the way to organize, a theory only has citizenship entitled when it supports admitted facts.”(Binet, 2000). On the other hand, theories are used to give greater meaning to the facts, an example of this is as mentioned above, having a historical fact, the study of said fact by a historiar, can go beyond justStudy the fact, and what it implies, but through a theory a meaning can be given to the fact, being able to give greater depth to your study, and contribute to history, because thanks to these theories we can have a vision moredeep of what happened in the past.
