Sumario:The development of thermodynamics was remarkably boosted by the Industrial Revolution, which helped to methodologically strengthen the ancient inquiries on heat and temperature. As such development happened to occur in the wake of the triumphant classical mechanics -whose physical referents are very different- and lacking proper formal tools, for a long time it was accepted without discussions that the scope of this science had to be limited to systems in equilibrium or very close to it. In this paper the historical development and the intellectual premises of that epistemological option are exposed, pointing out the change of perspective that occurred in the second half of the twentieth century.
