Abstract

ABSTRACT

A reading of The Birth of the Clinic by Michel Foucault, especially of the chapter “A Political Consciousness”, brings up one of the aspects that constituted the medical knowledge that is precisely the concern for the health of the population. As described by Foucault, the dispersion of medical discourse into the social space has brought implications for medical rationality that still affect us today. The article intends to follow Foucault's archaeological analyses in this book and establish the main points of importance and bridges for future analyses in his philosophical trajectory. Among the points, can be highlighted the institution of a state hygienist medicine, statistics, the need to train doctors, the strategic relations. It can be concluded with considerations about the constitution of the medical discourse and its historical contingencies; about the constitution of physicians themselves in colleges and corporations; and the links with Foucault's later studies on what he will call biopolitics.

Em nosso presente momento, em que uma grande pandemia assola o mundo, é preciso que estejamos atentos às contribuições que a Filosofia pode dar à área da saúde, assim como as diversas áreas da saúde podem dar à Filosofia. É fato bastante conhecido que a Filosofia desde o seu início se debruçou sobre diversos temas, inclusive o tema da saúde, a partir da própria compreensão da natureza. O ser humano como ser-lançado-no-mundo (para usarmos a expressão de Heidegger) sempre se colocou diante da natureza com uma atitude ambivalente. Por um lado uma atitude de temor, espanto, e por outro lado com uma atitude de admiração e dependência. Esse caráter ambivalente da relação do homem com o mundo vai desenvolver-se em reflexões que ora destacarão o primeiro sentimento, ora destacarão o segundo sentimento.
