Resumo: The vertebrate archetype outlined by Richard Owen in the mid-19th century was a model conceived to guide the morphological analysis of living beings within the guidelines defined by the idea of a unit of composition when applied to the specific case of vertebrates. But here, in addition to analyzing the original raison d'être of this archetype and its mode of operation within the epistemic context in which it effectively emerged, we will also allude to the way in which this model could come to be considered, not as an idealization, or a methodologically operative abstraction, but as an approximation to a real entity that had to be individualized and duly described.

Pero aquí, además de analizar la razón de ser originaria de ese arquetipo y su modo de operar dentro del contexto epistémico en el que efectivamente surgió, también aludiremos al modo en que ese modelo pudo pasar a ser considerado, no ya como una idealización, o una abstracción metodológicamente operativa, sino como una aproximación a una entidad real que debía ser individualizada y debidamente descripta.Federal University of Santa Catarina – UFSC2022-06-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/principia/article/view/8458110.5007/1808-1711.2022.e84581Principia: an international journal of epistemology; Vol. 26 No. 1 (2022): Special Issue: Models and Modeling in the Sciences; 55-71Principia: an international journal of epistemology; Vol. 26 Núm. 1 (2022): Special Issue: Models and Modeling in the Sciences; 55-71Principia: an international journal of epistemology; v. 26 n. 1 (2022): Special Issue: Models and Modeling in the Sciences; 55-711808-17111414-4247reponame:Principia (Florianópolis.
