The claim and concern of this article is that today ‘Jesuit Science’ only prima facie refers to a historical problem, that is, the investigation and comprehension of scientific debates involving scholars belonging to the Jesuit Order during early Modernity. By taking a closer look at the ongoing discourse one realizes that this category has gradually become a euphemism; indeed, it has become a camouflage that conceals a historiographical and epistemological commitment in favour of theology-led revisionisms in the history and philosophy of science.

Abstract
The claim and concern of this article is that today ‘Jesuit Science’ only prima facie refers to a historical problem, that is, the investigation and comprehension of scientific debates involving scholars belonging to the Jesuit Order during early Modernity. By taking a closer look at the ongoing discourse one realizes that this category has gradually become a euphemism; indeed, it has become a camouflage that conceals a historiographical and epistemological commitment in favour of theology-led revisionisms in the history and philosophy of science.
