This article intends to analyse the historical process of the relation between these three elements: technique, technology and science. It also intends to auscultate the (often) false dicotomy between the notions of theory and practice in the History of Science. Through the survey of the dynamics of these categories throughout time, we look to reflect on the way scientific knowledge is produced, being frequently more complex and diverse than the assumptions based on a linear causality and a knowledge production through stages; even tough, these models often guide the investment policies on S&T and are reproduced on a large social scale.
