Abstract
Este texto trata da questão da causalidade em epidemiologia. Começa com um breve retrospecto histórico para recuperar os diversos sentidos dados ao conceito pelos principais filósofos ocidentais. Em seguida, considera as raízes históricas da epidemiologia enquanto disciplina científica e as transformações que o conceito de causa sofreu em seu âmbito. Estabelecidas essas premissas, analisa-se o desenvolvimento da epidemiologia no século XX e a crise de paradigma que enfrenta na atualidade. Como saídas para a crise, no que se refere à questão da causalidade, examina três alternativas: a epidemiologia social, a crítica popperiana a os aportes da biologia molecular. Finalmente, comenta a necessiclade de uma nova teoria epidemiológica construída a partir da teoria da complexidade.
In examining the issue of causality whithin epidemiology, the text begins with a brief historical overview that reclaims the different meanings which the West's main philosophers have lent to this concept. It next delves into the historical roots of epidemiology as a scientific discipline and the transformations the concept of cause has undergone to within this realm. With these presuppositions in place, the text goes on to analyse the 20th century development of epidemiology and the crisis ít currently faces in terms of paradigm. Three alternatives are explored as ways out of this crisis: social epidemiology, Popperian criticism and the contributions of molecular biology. Lastly, the tent discusses the need for a new epidemiological theory grounded on the theory of complexity.
