Resumo: This study aims to reflect on the intertwining of certain key ideas about what we call “health” within the hegemonic biomedical paradigm: health, disease, health needs, medicalization and medical-industrial complex. This reflection is based on the philosophical contributions of Heller and Wiggins on needs; on the discussion of some authors, especially Canguilhem, about health and illness; and Collins’ sociology of expertise. After pointing out some of the conundrums that arise from the conceptual fluidity of the topics abovementioned, we present a path forward, based on Collins’ proposals about the role of experts in political arguments, to resituate the discussion on health needs.

Esta reflexión está basada en las contribuciones filosóficas de Heller y Wiggins sobre las necesidades; sobre la discusión de algunos autores, especialmente Canguilhem, sobre salud y enfermedad; y la sociología de las capacidades de Collins. Tras señalar algunos de los dilemas que surgen, procedentes de la fluidez conceptual de los temas anteriormente mencionados, presentamos el camino a seguir, basado en las propuestas de Collins sobre el papel de los expertos en las discusiones políticas, con el fin de reubicar la discusión sobre las necesidades en el ámbito de la salud.O estudo visa refletir sobre o entrelaçamento entre determinadas ideias-chave sobre o que denominamos “saúde” dentro do paradigma biomédico hegemônico: saúde, doença, necessidades de saúde, medicalização e complexo médico-industrial. A reflexão tem como base os aportes filosóficos de Heller e Wiggins sobre necessidades; a discussão de alguns autores, notadamente Canguilhem, sobre saúde e adoecimento e a sociologia da expertise, de Collins. Depois de identificar alguns dos dilemas que surgem da fluidez conceitual dos temas mencionados acima, apresentamos um caminho para estudos futuros, com base nas propostas de Collins sobre o papel dos experts nos argumentos políticos, para recolocar a discussão sobre necessidades de saúde.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2018-06-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/6626Reports in Public Health; Vol. 34 No. 6 (2018): JuneCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 34 n. 6 (2018): Junho1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/6626/14258https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/6626/14259Kenneth Rochel de Camargo Jr.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:29:27Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/6626Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:07:35.283011Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
