Resumo
In this dissertation, we propose a philosophical discussion about some assumptions and
consequences of the relativity principles embodied by physical theories. In the first chapter we
start by suggesting on the first chapter a general vision of the logical structure of a class of
space-time theories so wide that covers not only Newtonian mechanics but also special and
general relativity. The relativity principle that is satisfied by each one of these theories
appears as a consequence of a the transformation group which characterizes the physical
equivalence relationship between space-time structures inside the theory. Such group is called
“symmetry group” and is also responsible of establishing the general rule of permutation
between frames of reference allowed by the theory.
In the second and third chapter we will use these ideas to contrast and inspect key
properties of the three mentioned theories. Our goal is to finish with an analysis of the
philosophical significance of the principle of general relativity and its exact relation to the
others pertinent principles of general relativity theory.
