Summary/Abstract: The history of science can be viewed from two angles. On the one hand, the history of science refers only to outlining the evolution of knowledge in various domains from the beginnings until the present. On the other hand, the history of science consists in the analysis of the nature and objectives of scientific theories, research methodologies and of the criteria determining the evolution of science. As a science, history is distinct from the history of science. The logic of history is represented by the logic of what is universally correct. It refers to knowledge only as regards its domain of study.
