OROZCO ECHEVERRI, Sergio hernán. Interpretative Models of Newtonian Corpus: historiographic Traditions of Twentieth Century. []. , 35, pp.227-256. ISSN 0121-3628.

It will be shown that the rejection of positivism is not sufficient condition for establishing an adequate inter- pretation and, together with the strengthening of the research from Newton’s manuscript, it is necessary a wider, and more detailed model that those established by some of the most outstanding scholars like Alexandre Koyré, I. Bernard Cohen, Betty Dobbs, and Richard Westfall.
