Epistemological Foundations of Medical Education: Logos of Science and Aristotelian Tradition
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
In the transition from paideia to bulding in medical education tensions are generated in the experience/observation relationship; to explore it, a horizon is reconstructed that contributes to the epistemological foundation of medical education. The relationship of logos with science and, later, the Aristotelian tradition is analyzed. In the logos of science, the relationship logos/science is thought through the thought of Heraclitus, Heidegger and Gadamer to define it in terms of a process by which the diverse is gathered in a whole that is shown to the being that is understood in the language. In relation to the Aristotelian tradition, following the thought of José María Mardones rehabilitates the teleological sense of the scientific explanation of the phenomena of nature. It is transited by the Aristotelian thought, the Darwinian posture, and the epistemological developments of the 19th and 20th centuries; highlighting the contributions of anthropic postulates, the theory of morphogenesis, as well as the theory of functional explanation. It is concluded that the Aristotelian tradition provides fundamental elements to reorganize the knowledge of medical sciences from an integral perspective that focuses the patient on the educational process of the medical student.
