Abstract
The emergence of molecular biology at the border that separates the genetic and biochemical theory provides a good testbed for various strategies meta‐scientific. The theoretism of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Kuhn tends towards social constructivism does not serve to account for the possible truth and correctness of the double helix’s theorem. The semantic approach (developed by J. Sneed, W. Stegmüller, U. Moulines, etc.), although seeks to adapt its analysis to the structural content and meaning of scientific theorems, they eventually dissolve them into formal correspondences. The theory of categorical closure, however, is attached to a circular constructivism for understanding the dogmas of the structure of DNA as identical synthetic materials without thereby neglecting the pragmatic aspects, historical and social, that value into perspective the contributions of Phage group, Watson and Crick, Pauling or the universities involved.
