The author discusses Serres' criticism on the concept of global history on one hand and his rela-tivisation of the concept of recurrent history of science on the other hand. The fact that in the real history of science it is possible to discover at least two types of temporality - the intersected, discontinuous temporality of invention and the continuity of tradition - makes Serres think that the complexity of the historical development of science can be explained only with combination of connected and disconnected models of history of science.Avtor obravnava Serresovo kritiko koncepta globalne zgodovine na eni strani in njegovo relati-viziranje koncepta rekurentne zgodovine znanosti na drugi strani. Iz dejstva, da je mogoče v realni zgodovini znanosti odkriti vsaj dva osnovna tipa temporalnosti: sekano, diskontinuirano temporalnost invencije in kontinuiteto tradicije, izpelje Serres trditev, da lahko kompleksnost zgodovinskega razvoja znanosti pojasnimo le s kombinacijo zveznih in nezveznih modelov zgodovine znanosti
