This means that the historical development of physics can be regarded as rational in the sense that subsequent theories become ever more general and Aristotelian mechanics can be treated as a natural forerunner of Newtonian mechanics and, by extension, Einstein’s relativity theory.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Filozofia Nauki}, author={Grygiel, Wojciech P.}, year={2020}, month={mar.}, pages={5–24} }
