Resumen

There is a long dispute in the philosophy of medicine between those who consider medicine as an applied science and those who defend that is an art. We defend an alternative: medicine is a science of design. Doing this allows us to introduce prescriptive and evaluative elements that are generally analyzed in a constructivist way, as well as a reconsideration of rationality in terms of bounded rationality and evaluative rationality.
