Abstract

This article aims to show that, in what concerns science, the Middle Ages were far from obscure and marked by lack scientific progress. The event of modernity did not entail a break with science at the end of the Middle Ages, but something very diferent. To keep on asserting the existence of a break represents reiterating without any real foundations.
