O espírito que se torna livre para atingir os altos fins da existência : os vitalismos de Hahnemann e Nietzsche

Abstract

This research discusses the health concept from the perspective of vitalistic medical models, ranging in the axis of Medical Rationale medical doctrine, having as study object the vitalist studies by Hahnemann and Nietzsche. From the survey and literature review of texts and the historical and philosophical disciplinary approach, it aimed at analyzing the concepts of life, health, disease and cure in the thoughts of these authors, drawing connections and explaining the differences of thoughts involved. The theoretical support were the works of Canguilhem, Luz and Foucault. Starting from the emphasis on the vital attitude of the subject in the health-disease-convalescence-healing process, that both thinkers emphasize, we sought to assess the idea that Hahnemann s vitalism resembles Nietzsche s, and whether it is possible to say that the pursuit of big health would the goal of homeopathic treatment to address the freedom of spirit in achieving the expansion of the vital normativeness. It was concluded that Hahnemann s and Nietzsche s vitalisms are similar in that the foundations of their thoughts emphasize life as a game of power and control, which emphasize the irreducibility of the phenomena of living beings to physical and chemical properties; the design of human beings as unique and singular wholes in which there is a set of interacting forces, promoting different types of health in the same individual, according to the varied stages of life and the hierarchies between the forces resulting in diagnostic tests, opportunities for therapeutic intervention and monitoring of the health-disease process. They correspond to ways of looking at life in a dynamic manner, valuing all physical, mental, emotional aspects and interactions/relations with the environment in which they live. The great health to a spirit that becomes what it is it expands the ideal of homeopathic cure by helping reframe the concept of health as expanding the normativity of life and life as value creation, promoting shifts in individual and collective perspectives, to conquer a living and happier life and affirming the free spirit . Both thoughts can promote significant revaluation of the concept of life and health in contemporary society and medicine, focusing on values statistically determined, generalizing and standardization of individuals of the paradigm normal/pathologic
