The purpose of this article is to understand the concept of conventionalism in the philosophy of
science represented by Henry Poincare and to clarify the interpretations provided by this tendency to the
nature of scientific laws and theories. The trend towards epistemology has become an alternative to
inductivism. Believes that scientific laws and theories are the themes (conventions) chosen by scientists
and that the criterion of choice is easy and convenient. As such, it is not possible to speak of a correct and
false theory, but only to say that one theory is more convenient than the other, which means the pragmatic
interpretation of scientific theories.
