The present study deals with Duhem"s theoretical and meta-theoretical design of a generalised mechanics based on the principles of thermodynamics, in the decade between 1886 and 1896, before the transformations experienced by the physical sciences around the turn of the century theoretical physics : a new alliance between the formal structure of analytical mechanics and thermodynamics, in order to deal with the complexity of the physical world. Duhem's meta-theoretical remarks, which he expressed in a systematic way in his 1906 : La théorie physique, son objet, et sa structure, stemmed from his practice as a theoretical physicist in those years. Galileo's modern science had had to fight against the old physics of qualities , in order to establish itself. The complexity of the physical world had been neglected in favour of a simplified representation : only geometry and mechanics could explain a geometrized and mechanized wolrd. Duhem believed that, at the end of the nineteenth century, he could go back to those neglected phenomena, and carry it into the wider boundaries of a generalized mechanics-thermodynamics. He revived the ancient Greek meaning of the word : "physics" : not only the science of local motion, but a general theory of material transformations, which encompassed physics, chemistry and perhaps some aspects of life sciences. For a long time, and even nowadays in the scientific community, Duhem's theoretical and meta-theoretical design of unification between mechanics and thermodynamics, and between physics and chemistry.
