Abstract

MARTINS, Liziane  and  COVA, Valter Forastieri. Abordagem anti-reducionista em saúde: uma contribuição das discussões filosóficas no contexto da educação em saúde. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2015, vol.29, n.58, pp.843-859. ISSN 1982-596x.  https://doi.org/10.14393/REVEDFIL29n58p843.

This paper initially presents an introductory study about the critical of contemporary health epistemology and its application to the universe of knowledge in health, looking to explore some of these critical contributions to biomedical health care and its consequent impact on Health Education. Afterwards, we show four approaches about explanatory positions: atomism, holism, reductionism and anti-reductionism, to understand the importance of a philosophical basis in discussions of health and its impact on education. Finally, try to show the implications of philosophy in teacher's education for a better understanding of the Science Education, more specifically in Health Education.

Keywords : Biomedical Approach; Explanatory Positions; Philosophy; Science Education.
