Saúde, este obscuro objeto de desejo

Abstract

The present essay explores the relations between health and desire involving a given yearning named "health" and the forms that such feeling acquires in the contemporaneous context of living. It ultimately points to a radical situation in terms of health, victim of a irreversible process of expansion that eventually makes any attempt of definition not viable, leading to a total loss of meaning within a human universe tending to complete robotization.
