Epistemological Foundations Of Medical Education: Science As Myth Or On The Galilean Tradition
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
Current trends in medical education face epistemic obstacles that generate tensions between scientific experience and common experience, derived from observation. To explore this line of reflection, a horizon of understanding that contributes to the epistemological foundation of medical education is reconstructed. The myth is analyzed in the construction of scientific knowledge and the Galilean tradition. In science as mythos, the mythos/science relationship is thought through the thought of Mircea Eliade, Plato, Martin Heidegger, Paul Feyerabend and Hans-Georg Gadamer to define it in terms of a complex explanatory system with auxiliary hypotheses of particular cases that are confirm through observation. In relation to the Galilean tradition; following the line of reflection of José Ma. Mardones; the Pythagorean-Platonic origin is rehabilitated, emphasizing as fundamental principles the mathematical expression, objective and experimentally verifiable of the phenomena of nature. The participation of positivism, logical positivism and critical rationalism is briefly reviewed in order to keep updated the positivist paradigm linked to the Galilean tradition. It is concluded that the Galilean tradition represents the social, cultural and historical position of the scientific method in the natural sciences, which has dominated the generation of knowledge and the teaching of medical sciences.
