ABSTRACT
We offer an historical and contextual perspective of the conception of the medical investigation from the remote antiquity to the contemporary epoch. Two visions, the oriental one and the western one, whose respective prominent figures, distinguished doctors and scholars of his time such as Tales of Mileto and Hipocrates in Greece, Asclepius de Prusa and Claudio Galeno in Rome, Roger Bacon y Arnau of Vilanova in the Middle Ages, Phrastus Bombastus Paracelsus in the Renaissance, among others, have supported, defined and constructed with their contributions the contemporary medical discipline and with it the medical knowledge and the science itself evolved from the intuitive knowledge of the early man, up to what today we know as science.REFERENCES
