This dissertation discusses the different roles of the concept of Natural History in Portugal and Portuguese America among 1750 and 1822. We prop ose here that this field of knowledge has been built up from two enlightened paradigms: N atural Theology and the idea of nature usefulness for human apropriation. This second para digm prevails as from the publication of the Statutes of the University of Coimbra (1772). Therefore, we analyze the texts of men of s cience who integrated the board of members of the Royal Ac demy of Sciences of Lisbon (1779). In a first moment, this issue is debated through th e analysis of the new Statutes . We examined the conceptions of Natural History in Enli ghtenment and the option to emphasize an education oriented by the idea of utility. Then, we attend to the manner how Oratorian priest Teodoro de Almeida and Franciscan friars José Mayne and Manuel do Cenáculo resorted to Natural History concepts, providing a public answer to the radical ideas of Enlightenment. Also, we discuss the way Cenáculo presented a reflection ab ut the uses men could make from nature. After that, we debate the importance of Domingos Va ndelli in the context of the Natural History studies in the second half of the XVIII cen tury. We emphasize especially the way he mobilized The Royal Academy of Sciences around his project of creating an inventory of "physics" and "economics" of nature in Portugal and its colonies, incorporating principles of Political Economy. Lastly, we debated the conceptio ns f Natural History and the role attributed to divine providence in the working of nature by tw o Luso-Brazilian naturalists clearly identified to the Portuguese State’s political projects of the end of the 18 th and the beginning of the 19 th centuries: Friar José Mariano da Conceição Veloso a nd José Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva.
