Georges Louis Leclerc, count de Buffon, develops an authentic biological theory but without giving this name, in his History of animals, vol. II, of the book Natural history, general and particular. He establishes the basis of biology when he elaborates criteria or distinction between living creature and nonliving against the tripartite division in the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms. He also develops a generation theory based in the concepts of inner would, organic molecules and pervasive strength. These concepts form the ontology of a research tradition that is complemented by a hypothetical-deductive methodology. Keywords: pervasive strength; methodology; inner would; organic molecules; ontology; research tradition
