Abstract:

The article proposes a reinterpretation about the health crisis within a broader crisis of utopias and the need to reinvent social emancipation that show us realistic paths of hopethe present. For this we propose the articulation of four types of justice: social, health, environmental and cognitive. The first two are well known in critical thinking and collective health, and the latter two extend the understanding of the crisis in its civilizing, ethical, and planetary nature, marked by the contradictions and destructive potential of Eurocentric, Western and capitalist modernity. The social is considered inseparablethe ecological, ontological, and epistemological dimensions in the interface between ethics, politics, science and social transformation related to the various crises and the necessary civilizational transition. The article is based on contributionsthree fields of knowledges; collective health, political ecology and postcolonial approaches, especially the epistemologies of the South presented by Boaventura de Sousa Santos around the reinvention of social emancipation. Finally we propose some brief reflections for collective health in producing alternatives on topics such as economic, scientific and technological development, health promotion, surveillance, and care.
