MOURA, Eliana Perez Gonçalves de  and  PEREIRA, Gislaine Cristina. HUMAN DEVELOPMENT - RETHINKING CONCEPTS IN THE SCOPE OF INTERDISCIPLINARY. Contrapontos [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.4, pp.717-728. ISSN 1984-7114.  https://doi.org/10.14210/contrapontos.v17n4.p717-728.

The study of human development, faced with the constant and complex transformations in the interdisciplinary theoretical-practical domains, has been thought of in different ways. Although financial resources continue to be relevant, economic growth ceases to be paramount in the composition of this concept, and is complemented by the human factor. The objective of this study is to present a brief comprehensive history of human development. The bibliographical method is used, searching on the term human development, and focusing on books and scientific journals published from 1980, starting from the HDI/PNUD, for other interdisciplinary approaches. The importance is perceived of understanding human development beyond economic aspects, without disregarding the HDI, which includes income, health and education. It is concluded that the expanded notion of the term highlights, beyond these indicators, the physical, cognitive, psychosocial, historical, cultural and especially subjective aspects for the understanding of human development.

Keywords : Human Development; Interdisciplinarity; Human Factor.
