| Sumario: | This article defends the thesis that philosophy not only played an important role in the initial moments of the formation of modern science, but currently continues to play an essential role in scientific development. This role consists in the contribution of ideas and arguments that motivate the exploration of new models and new lines of research, beyond what is commonly accepted at any given time. So, without this contribution of ideas, scientific progress stops, or at least slows down significantly. The thesis defended is illustrated by considering various examples taken from the developments of physics in the twentieth century. |
