This paper examines the temporality of knowledge, the way how time became a fundamental component of knowledge. Its aim is to understand how the turns of the century get inscribed into the knowledge of each time as a turning point. By reading Buffon, Humboldt, and Charcot´s epistemological approaches, the article draws different perspectives on the problematic of the increasing involvement of time in sciences. The turns of the century around 1800, 1900 and 2000 are analyzed as dates in which a different knowledge of time was constituted and, therefore, a different time of knowledge.
