A historical approach is given on the subject, first, starting from the origin of religions in ancient civilizations, second, commenting the impact of determinism driven by Newtonian mechanics, and, finally, highlighting a return to mysticism caused by the lack of a complete interpretation of quantum mechanics. It is concluded that there exists a significant correlation between the state of science in a particular time period and the beliefs held by the members of the scientific community associated with that period.Se propone estudiar la influencia de las condiciones externas más cercanas a una comunidad científica sobre las creencias personales a las que se tienden a acoger los individuos que forman parte de esta comunidad. Para esto se realiza un recorrido histórico, primero, partiendo desde el origen de las religiones en las civilizaciones más antiguas, segundo, comentando el impacto del determinismo impulsado por la mecánica newtoniana y, finalmente, advirtiendo un retorno al misticismo provocado por la falta de una interpretación completa de la mecánica cuántica. Se concluye que existe una correlación significativa entre el estado de la ciencia en un periodo en particular y las creencias que mantienen los individuos de la comunidad científica asociada a tal periodo.Universidad de Costa Rica 2021-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/ziptext/htmlhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/humanidades/article/view/4731610.15517/h.v11i2.47316Revista humanidades; Vol. 11 No. 2 (2021): July-DecemberRevista humanidades; Vol. 11 Núm. 2 (2021): Julio-DiciembreRevista humanidades; v. 11 n. 2 (2021): Julio-Diciembre2215-3934reponame:Portal de Revistas UCRinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRspahttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/humanidades/article/view/47316/47438https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/humanidades/article/view/47316/47439https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/humanidades/article/view/47316/47440acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-06-23T20:09:41Zoai:portal.ucr.ac.cr:article/47316Portal de revistashttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.ucr.ac.crhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaijorge.polanco@ucr.ac.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-13T10:37:37.498Portal de Revistas UCR - Universidad de Costa Ricafalse
