Resumen
Se presentan las teorías de Canguilhem y Boorse. A esta última se formulan tres objeciones. La primera concierne a la relevancia concedida al medio ambiente en la definición de salud. La segunda cuestiona la idea de caracterizar como normales o patológicos a las células, tejidos u órganos considerados aisladamente. La tercera señala que la caracterización de la posición normativista no contempla la existencia de normas biológicas. Se argumenta que la posición de Canguilhem, a pesar de preceder a la de Boorse, permite superar tales dificultades, y que si bien es posible reconocer respuestas a las mencionadas objeciones en los trabajos del propio Boorse, éstas entran en conflicto con los postulados centrales de su teoría. Finalmente, se evalúa la compatibilidad de ambos autores.
The theories of Canguilhem and Boorse are presented. Three objections are formulated to the latter. The first concerns the relevance given to the environment in the definition of health. The second one questions whether it is appropriate to classify cells, tissues, or organs considered in isolation as normal or pathological. The third points out that the characterization of the normative position does not contemplate the existence of biological norms. It is argued that Canguilhem’s position, despite having been formulated prior to Boorse’s, allows to overcome such difficulties, and that while it is possible to recognize answers to the aforementioned objections in Boorse’s works, they generate a conflict with the central postulates of his theory. Finally, the compatibility of both authors is evaluated.
