Resumo: The historical characterization of scientific development was impacted by the writings of Pierre Duhem, especially by his investigations into medieval science. Despite being hailed as an immense contribution to the history of science, his work did not pass unscathed through  criticism. Many of his interpreters have questioned his defense of the continuity of science, which is understood as the denial of revolutionary changes. In this work, Duhem's perspective on scientific development is discussed based on some metaphors he used. While arguing in favor of their importance for understanding the notion of continuity, this article seeks to show how they are used in a distorted way by some of his critics.

Sua obra, apesar de saudada como uma imensa contribuição à história da ciência, não passou ilesa a críticas. Muitos de seus intérpretes têm questionado sua defesa em prol da continuidade da ciência, entendida como a negação de mudanças revolucionárias. Neste trabalho, discutimos a perspectiva de Duhem sobre o desenvolvimento científico a partir de algumas metáforas por ele empregadas. Ao mesmo tempo que argumentamos em favor da importância delas para compreensão da noção de continuidade, buscamos mostrar como são utilizadas de forma distorcida por alguns de seus críticos.UNESP2021-12-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://seer.assis.unesp.br/index.php/facesdahistoria/article/view/2142Faces da História; Vol. 8 Núm. 02 (2021): História da Ciência em debate: possibilidades, fontes e horizontes de pesquisa; 37-55Faces da História; v. 8 n. 02 (2021): História da Ciência em debate: possibilidades, fontes e horizontes de pesquisa; 37-552358-3878reponame:Faces da Históriainstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPporhttps://seer.assis.unesp.br/index.php/facesdahistoria/article/view/2142/1843https://seer.assis.unesp.br/index.php/facesdahistoria/article/view/2142/1844Copyright (c) 2021 Amélia de Jesus Oliveira, João Henrique de Oliveira Guarsoniinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Jesus Oliveira, Améliade Oliveira Guarsoni, João Henrique 2021-12-22T15:16:37Zoai:seer.assis.unesp.br:article/2142Revistahttps://seer.assis.unesp.br/index.php/facesdahistoriaPUBhttps://seer.assis.unesp.br/index.php/facesdahistoria/oai||facesdahistoria@assis.unesp.br|| facesdahistoria@gmail.com2358-38782358-3878opendoar:2021-12-22T15:16:37Faces da História - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
