%0 Journal Article %T Lavoisier e a sistematiza o da nomenclatura qu¨ªmica %A Regina Simpl¨ªcio Carvalho %J Scientiae Studia %D 2012 %I Universidade de S?o Paulo %X Lavoisier sistematizou a nomenclatura qu¨ªmica com base na L¨®gica de Condillac, e ambos os autores foram inspirados por John Locke. Atacou persistentemente a teoria flog¨ªstica at¨¦ a sua derrocada e conseguiu a ades o de v¨¢rios cientistas a sua teoria do oxig¨ºnio. O uso da nova nomenclatura qu¨ªmica implicava a aceita o dessa ¨²ltima teoria. Escreveu v¨¢rias obras, entre elas M¨¦thode de nomenclature chimique e Trait¨¦ ¨¦l¨¦mentaire de chimie, nas quais divulgou a nova nomenclatura qu¨ªmica por toda a Europa. Assumindo que a ci¨ºncia ¨¦ um produto cultural, tecemos considera es a luz do pensamento de Thomas Kuhn e Ludwik Fleck. Lavoisier's chemical nomenclature was systematized based on the Logic of Condillac, and both authors were inspired by John Locke. Lavoisier persistently attacked the phlogiston theory until its demise, and he succeeded in getting the support of several scientists to his oxygen theory. The use of the new chemical nomenclature implied acceptance of that theory. He wrote several works, including Methode de nomenclature chimique and Trait¨¦ ¨¦l¨¦mentaire de chimie, which spread the new chemical nomenclature throughout Europe. Assuming that science is a cultural product, we present a discussion in light of the works of Ludwik Fleck and Thomas Kuhn. %K Lavoisier %K Nomenclatura qu¨ªmica %K Teoria do oxig¨ºnio %K Linguagem %K Kuhn %K Fleck %K Lavoisier %K Chemical nomenclature %K Oxygen theory %K Language %K Kuhn %K Fleck %U http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1678-31662012000400007
