Abstract

At the beginning of the 21st century, a peculiar discussion about the possible existence of unresolvable contradictions in the conceptual bases of classical electrodynamics was carried out. The arguments put forward to point out such alleged inconsistencies, as well as the replies they received, constitute an excellent example of scientific controversy from which electromagnetic theory emerged unscathed. However, the details of the debate show that classical physics, far from being devoid of interesting problems, can still accommodate various and profound lines of research of a fundamental nature.
