ABSTRACT
The paper presents a critical analysis of current society making emphasis on the human needs to generate domain among equals, as well as the sense of competition and division that this creates. It addresses the process of dehumanization that the same civilization has generated focusing on laboral paradigm of our days and the weak social justice that unequal wealth distribution has generated. It has been seen that health professionals involved in such context, have not escaped socio-cultural pressure and postmodern neo-liberal position. The paper discusses about the humanizing role health professionals have in society, and the relevance of the philosophical exercise in their acts above human frailty. Finally, it is suggested an alternative for repositioning to himself and society.REFERENCES
