Objetivo: verificar o possível papel da filosofia na saúde pública, considerando a atual pandemia de COVID-19. Conteúdo: existe uma relação entre a história da Filosofia e a da Medicina, sendo uma para tratar a alma e a outra para tratar o corpo. Assim, a Filosofia passou a ser vista como uma inserção dos valores humanitários e espiritualistas, que permitem uma conduta ética e solidária, no âmbito da saúde humana. Com o avanço científico e tecnológico, porém, esses valores começaram a ser perdidos, levando à investigação sobre a aplicação das perspectivas filosóficas no sentido de humanizar as ações de saúde pública. Realizou-se um estudo reflexivo da literatura nacional e internacional sobre a temática. Conclusão: a filosofia contribui dando significado aos cuidados em saúde. No Brasil, um pouco disso já pode ser percebido nas PICS, que têm buscado o tratamento do corpo e alma, do equilíbrio mental, emocional e espiritual.
ABSTRACT
Objective: to ascertain possible role of philosophy in public health in view of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Contents: there is a relationship between the history of Philosophy and of Medicine, one treating the soul and the other, the body. Thus, Philosophy has come to be seen as the introduction of humanitarian and spiritual values that permit ethical conduct in solidarity in the realm of human health. As science and technology have advanced, however, these values have begun to be lost, leading to research into the application of philosophical perspectives in order to humanize public health actions. This reflective study considered the Brazilian and international literature on the subject. Conclusion: Philosophy contributes by giving meaning to health care. This can already be seen in Brazil’s Integrative and Complementary Practices (PICS), which have sought to treat body and soul, seeking mental, emotional, and spiritual balance.
RESUMEN
Objetivo: verificar el posible papel de la filosofía en la salud pública, teniendo en cuenta la actual pandemia de COVID-19. Contenido: hay una relación entre la historia de la Filosofía y la de la Medicina, una para tratar el alma y la otra para tratar el cuerpo. Así, la Filosofía pasó a ser vista como una inserción de los valores humanitarios y espirituales que permiten una conducta ética y solidaria, en el ámbito de la salud humana. Sin embargo, con los avances científicos y tecnológicos, estos valores comenzaron a perderse, conllevando a la investigación sobre la aplicación de perspectivas filosóficas para humanizar las acciones de salud pública. Se realizó un estudio reflexivo de la literatura nacional e internacional sobre el tema. Conclusión: la filosofía contribuye dando sentido al cuidado de la salud. En Brasil, algo de eso ya se puede ver en las PICS, que han buscado el tratamiento para el cuerpo y el alma, para el equilibrio mental, emocional y espiritual.
