What is the nature of Science and what is its relation with the History and Philosophy of Science?

Abstract

This paper presents a review of the concept of nature of Science in works published in Brazilian and international books and journals of History and Philosophy of Science and Science Teaching in the last three decades. We intend to offer a basis such that historians, educators and other researchers can have a wide and modern idea about this concept, as well as become aware of the ways to incorporate it to their teaching, starting from the History and Philosophy of Science.
