| Sumario: | The aim of this paper is to discuss, from the proposal of Michel Foucault threshold of knowledge, the epistemological path of epidemiology since the 18th century, when emerged a discursive practice on health and illness of populations in the modern states until today established as a scientific discipline with high instrumental and technical refinement framed in scientific positivism and with little theoretical reflection about its purpose: health, disease and population. Consequently, it is proposed the urgency of an epistemological and methodological opening of epidemiology that allows you to understand the complexity of the health-disease-care to populations beyond the narrow biomedical paradigm. |
