The author evaluates Russo's ideas from postmodernist position. Contrary to L. Russo, who emphasizes the continuity and the commensurability in the history of science, he suggests that one should stress also discontinuity and incommensurability. Russo loses what is new and different in relation to Hellenistic science. He interprets the history of science as a repetition of the same Hellenistic paradigm. In his work, there is no emergence of novelty. From the other side, criticizing his exaggeratedly formalistic point of view, the author refers to the arguments of Heyting, Brouwer and I. Lakatos.
