APONTE, Carlos. On the Beginnings of Science in Venezuela. INHRR [online]. 2014, vol.45, n.2, pp.120-131. ISSN 0798-0477.

Attempts at reconstructing the history of science in Venezuela are usually reduced to stages or periods.  Why should the history of knowledge and science be petrified by characters and events?  When forced to answer how, when and where of the beginning of science in Venezuela, it can only be concluded that it was born from the time when nature lead us into reflection.

Keywords : History of Science; Epistemology; Philosophy of Science; Venezuela.
