The critical fortune of the Popper-Kuhn debate about the progress of science has followed different paths in the academic environment. In the scenario of Brazilian reception Karl Popper’s falibilist conception of Science is recurrently taken as the best expression of the scientific method. Equally vague and dogmatic are the frequent references to Thomas Kuhn's positions isolated from their argumentative context especially in the Humanities. The reconstruction of the main arguments in this interlocution can shed light on issues still present in the history and philosophy of science and maybe collaborate in the theoretical foundation of research and teaching in a variety of disciplinary fields.
