Klíčová slova: scientific theories * Wittgenstein
Kód oboru RIV: AA - Filosofie a náboženství

In a series of papers I proposed an interpretation of the development of scientific theories that is based on the analysis of the changes of the language and uses Wittgenstein's picture theory of meaning from the Tractatus. It turned out that the linguistic innovations in the development of exact sciences can be interpreted as changes of the pictorial form in the sense of the Tractatus. In both, the development of geometry and of algebra it was possible to identify six different forms, each of which determines the way how linguistic representations are coordinated with each other as well as with the particular subject matter, represented by the language of the theory. The aim of the present paper is to use the above mentioned approach in the epistemological interpretation of the development of classical mechanics.
