Resumo
Considering the influence of literature on people lives, this study investigates
elements concerning views about scientists and scientific work presented
in Deception Point, a novel by Dan Brown. Multiple aspects to
represent the scientist figure, life and work, emerge from the novel and
problematize characteristics that can be considered as a common sense
view, or others perspectives based on more contemporaneous philosophical
thoughts on science. Reading and analyzing this novel could be an
interesting opportunity to insert elements of history and philosophy of
science under different focus. This study discusses some elements, from
excerpts of the novel, which may become possibilities for debates in Science
classes at schools, and in teacher education.
