"Medical Objectivism and Abstract Pathology: Two Critical Texts"

Investigador/a: Francisco Vázquez García

Referencia completa: Vázquez García, Francisco: «Medical Objectivism and Abstract Pathology: Two Critical Texts», Analecta Husserliana, vol.XXIX, (1990) (DORDRECHT/ BOSTON/ LONDON), pp. 425-434

By the title of this dissertation we mean to outline a set of problems formulated at a certain juncture in contemporary reflection. These problems encompass that thought, possibly because they are linked to a specific phenomenon of modernity, that aspects of the discipline of biology have become objects of political concern, aspects such as birth control, public health, and hygiene, the educational, medical, judicial,
and commercial probing of sexuality, environmental conservation, the encouragement of physical fitness, advocacy of racial purity, etc. In this
situation, problems concerning the concepts of «normal» and «pathological» do not figure just in theoretical debates. Is there no correlation of any kind between the definition of normal as a purely statistical average, and the widespread mass medicine that demands efficiency without exception and rules out individualized treatment? And what type of political supervision authorizes a purely organicist psychopathology?
