VARELA MACHADO, Olga. Conceptual Blockage of the Controversy about Determinism during the Second Half of Nineteenth Century. Crítica (Méx., D.F.) [online]. 2020, vol.52, n.156, pp.87-114.  Epub 13-Set-2021. ISSN 0011-1503.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iifs.18704905e.2020.1224.

During the second half of the nineteenth century, physics go through a noiseless but deep review of its foundations. Despite of the importance for the upcoming developments, the historical and philosophical studies about that time are scarce in comparison to the first decades of the twentieth century. This paper rebuilds some aspects of physics of this time using two conceptual tools: The Controversy Spaces of Oscar Nudler and the Styles of Scientific Reasoning of Ian Hacking. The aim is showing the elements that led to the controversy about determinism during the second half of the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth.

Palavras-chave : history of physics; statistics mechanics; styles of scientific reasoning; controversy spaces; thermodynamics.
