Homeopathy: Discussion for the Desubjection of Medical Knowledge
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: ABSTRACT : The discursive practices of biomedicine tend to lead to effects in which individuals subjectify themselves as reified bodies in which there is a disjunction in relation to the psychic, taking the body as independent of the context where the relationships of living with their historicities are processed. From a different perspective, we bring discussions about another view of the body, which integrates mind and body in the processes of understanding existence and illness, from a historically subject point of view, namely, Homeopathy as a medical rationality. The importance of this discussion arises from the search for a dynamic understanding of the disease, based on a discussion about some bases of body vitalism that incorporates the subject's mind and body, thus being able to pave the way for another type of care, which takes into account the existential mode beyond a body structured into organs.
