In the present work the possibilities offered by health promotion, reviewed as a negation of negation and its identity, in contrast with the presently understood model of health/disease, circular and reproductive in nature, are discussed. From a historically constant human component, characterized by the dialectic of “to be bad and thus to seek to be well”, health promotion as negation of negation is also analyzed as an opportunity for emancipation, in contrast with the circular model, understood as a business opportunity. Finally, the conditions and obstacles to be overcome for effectiveness in changing perspectives in the understanding and practice of health/disease in relation to health promotion as a negation of negation are pointed out.Downloads
