Hypotheticism is a concept acting as primary linchpin of contempo-rary epistemology, in particular in relation with and in contrast to the positivistic dogmatism that prevailed in the decades straddling the XIX and the XX centuries. This work investigates the reasons of the hypothesis within the contemporary scientific and theoretical reflections. It shows that the method of working by hypothesis and by trial and error is a valid paradigm even for the speculative and ethic dimensions of medical practice.

Abstract
Hypotheticism is a concept acting as primary linchpin of contempo-rary epistemology, in particular in relation with and in contrast to the positivistic dogmatism that prevailed in the decades straddling the XIX and the XX centuries. This work investigates the reasons of the hypothesis within the contemporary scientific and theoretical reflections. It shows that the method of working by hypothesis and by trial and error is a valid paradigm even for the speculative and ethic dimensions of medical practice.
