Resumo: In 1975 Hilary Putnam captured in a few lines a longstanding intuition about the epistemic status of scientific theories. These lines are almost universally recognized as the first explicit formulation of the No-Miracles Argument (NMA). During the past 40 years, the debate on Scientific Realism became one of the central topics of the philosophy of science. The plausibility of NMA has been defended or challenged by several strategies, and new arguments fueled a controversy that still stands today. Current paper provides an overview of the dispute, and then critically addresses some of the most recent contributions to the contemporary debate.

Dichas líneas son casi universalmente reconocidas como la primera formulación explícita del Argumento del No-Milagro (ANM). Durante los 40 años trascurridos desde entonces, el debate sobre el Realismo Científico se transformó en uno de los tópicos centrales de la filosofía de las ciencias. La plausibilidad del ANM fue defendida o cuestionada mediante múltiples estrategias, y nuevos argumentos alimentaron una polémica que aún hoy sigue vigente. El objetivo de este trabajo es brindar un panorama general de la disputa, para luego abordar críticamente algunos de los aportes más recientes al debate contemporáneo. Universidade Estadual De Maringá2015-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://www.periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciHumanSocSci/article/view/2693310.4025/actascihumansoc.v37i2.26933Acta Scientiarum.
