[Ethos, psyche, soma. Medicine and its mutations].
In this paper, understood as a contribution to a theoretical pathology, the necessity and urgency of a medical metatheory are explained on the basis of intensive and extensive developments of medical knowledge. These developments have extended beyond the limits of medicine modelled after the experimental and clinical paradigms, making it imperative to include the social and valoric dimensions within medicine and not as an addition to its traditional goals. The metamedicine so created, it is suggested, should develop a dialogic model in which, without having to postulate isomorphisms or correlations, the dilemmas posed by ethos, psyche and soma are confronted as discourses of a human science.
