Resumen

BARROS DA SILVA, Wellington  y  DELIZOICOV, Demètrio. Epistemological considerations around the Health Sciences. Rev Hum Med [online]. 2008, vol.8, n.2-3, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1727-8120.

This article discusses some epistemological aspects of Canguilhem, Foucault and Kuhn's work and their implication in the characterization of Medicine's scientific rationale. The delimitation of the disease concept, which is fundamental for being Medicine's object of knowledge, is considered in Canguilhem's analysis of the theoretical formation of the concepts of what is normal or pathologic and in Foucault's interpretation that identifies the epistemological hallmark that gives origin to the clinical method as a subjacent model to all health intervention processes. Ludwik Fleck's socio constructivist perspective is presented as a possibility to epistemologically approach the dynamics of transformation, instauration and extension of scientific facts, placing special importance on the historical and social elements as a possibility to interpret health's complexity.

Palabras clave : knowledge; medical philosophy; epistemology.
