Este artigo mostra que na?o ha? uma tese de subdeterminac?a?o de teorias cienti?ficas pelos indi?cios observacionais, mas va?rias. Identificamos quatro, com significados, plausibilidades e implicac?o?es distintos. Mostra-se que as mais fortes na?o passam de conjeturas, e que as mais fracas sa?o mais plausi?veis, mas na?o possuem implicac?o?es filoso?ficas robustas – em particular, na?o implicam o antirrealismo cienti?fico –, embora fornec?am indi?cios de alternativas teo?ricas sistematicamente ignoradas na cie?ncia, bem como do emprego de crite?rios em parte valorativos de escolha de teorias.
