The research referred here aims to identify and re-signify empirical knowledge. Therfore, significance and re-signification of empirical knowledge. Therefore, it was necessary to investigate the historical processes involving the relevant transformations to the empirical knowledge. It was necessary to recognize and read elements from several areas of knowledge. In this regard, after dealing with empirical knowledge in the Middle Ages, it was followed by empirical knowledge in the face of a gradual paradigmatic transformation, referring to the period of the Discoveries. With the presented elements, two interfaces are exposed that represents a period of changes that culminate in intellectual transformations and a resignification of the empirical. It is against this background that aspects that make up the theoretical, social, philosophical, geographic and economic fields of different periods. They were listed aspirations and productions of the Middle Ages, as well as of the time of the Discoveries, were necessary to understand the meaning and resignification of the empirical in their respective historical moments. The Middle Ages allows us to notice elements such as intertextuality and analogy. By these precepts, are established points for the understanding of the world. It is necessary to unfold such precepts and to understand how they were able to give meaning to the empirical. In this way it is possible to understand empirical knowledge itself in this period. And it is in this unfolding of history that we begin to understand that if there was a re-signification of the empirical in Modernity, it is certainly necessary to know what it meant previously. It is only through this movement that research has its follow-up. If there is a transformation between a signification in one period and a redetermination in another, there must be an explanation for such a transformation. In this sense, the research traverses the path of the Discoveries, which was involved between one time and another. Precisely, at the moment that Discovery happen, there is an effervescence of the Renaissance. Thereout the possibility of recognizing how the Discoveries were able to give new contours to empirical knowledge. Therefore, it is essential to demonstrate what these discoveries have been and what they meant. Through this necessity, the meaning of Discovery is conceptually demonstrated, its impacts, which also lead to the construction of another way of thinking the world, understanding the different as alterity. For the construction of the hypotheses, the arguments and theories were used documents and scientific literature that made possible to understand the presented research object.
