ABSTRACT: In this paper, an approach to
Pythagoras’ Theorem is presented within the historical context in which it was
developed and from the underlying intellectual outline of the Pythagorean
School. This was analyzed from a rationalism standpoint. An experiment is
presented to the reader so that they, through direct observation, can analyze
Pythagoras’ Theorem and its relation to the creation of knowledge. The theory
of knowledge conceptualization is used.
