Summary/Abstract: We consider the axiomatisation like an activity of formalisation and systematization of a particular theory. Thus, it appears like an ars inveniendi, a crucial stage in the knowledge process. The axiomatisation guarantees the abstraction, the generality, the systematicity and the ehaustivity of this process. In the same way, it permits to clarify a theory and to value the conceptual relevance of it. Conceived like a productive activity, the axiomatisation has many creative virtues.
