| Abstract: | Through a physical, historical and epistemological analysis it is shown how much is wrong with the idea that relates impetus theory to a  non-grown-up physical and epistemological conception. Indeed, it yields that impetus theory of Buridan and Oresme can be formalised and can furnish us a natural, non-violent interpretation of (classical) mechanics as well as a more general, physical hermeneutics of the world. Then, the possible relevance of impetus theory for science education is strongly pointed out. |
