TY - JOUR T1 - Aproximación a la noción salud en la globalización desde la epistemología de Edgar Morin A1 - Villasana López, Pedro Enrique PB - Instituto de Altos Estudios en Salud Pública "Dr. Arnaldo Gabaldón" YR - 2006 UL - http://biblioteca.ararteko.eus/Record/dialnet-ar-18-ART0000079695 AB - The objective of this paper is to approach the concept of Health and the conditions that make possible an integral and integrating approach to Edgar Morin´s epistemology of complexity, within the framework of Globalization. Based on interpretive systemology methods to provide a logical- hermeneutical approach, an interpretive model of Morin´s thought is produced. Such a model allows one to advance the notions of Human Being, Society and Health. From this perspective, a characterization of the human being as an autonomous citizen, in contrast to an individual, is generated. This contrast allows the distinction between Individuality and Individualism within a society characterized as an Inter-Solidaristic Social System (ISS). This ISS involves a series of relationships founded on respect and solidarity. How the unity of individuality within the diversity of human beings is constituted, emerging as citizens of the Social System, is shown. The concept of Health is shaped as a condition-state, both collective and individual; as a dynamic and multidimensional character that allows the development of individual and collective autonomous beings. This property is only possible in an ISS, where citizens and nations pursue both the common and individual good, respecting the various autonomies and diversities with a deep sense of belonging to the society which makes them possible as human beings. Health is a positive state of being that goes beyond the mere absence of disease, a condition of self-defined well-being, self-shaped by citizens and collectives.
