Assim, estabeleceu-se entre ci?ncia, sa?de, cultura e conhecimentos tradicionais das popula??es tradicionais um di?logo que nos permitiu ressaltar a import?ncia da pesquisa qualitativa como m?todo de investiga??o prof?cuo para que se permita perceber, aflorar e fortalecer a circula??o de saberes entre os diversos conhecimentos, principalmente entre a ci?ncia e o conhecimento tradicional, destacando-se quando poss?vel e necess?rio a rela??o com a sa?de dos povos tradicionais e suas percep??es de vida e natureza. Ap?s as reflex?es te?rico-metodol?gicas sobre a ci?ncia moderna, a interdisciplinaridade e a pesquisa qualitativa, faz-se um olhar para a ci?ncia e a sa?de como elementos culturais e nesta analise foi proposto um novo conceito ? a circularidade cognocente, como forma epistemol?gica de entender a permeabilidade de hip?teses, m?todos e t?cnicas entre os diversos conhecimentos. / Disserta??o (Mestrado Profissional) ?

A common link among science, health, culture and people?s traditional knowledge acquisition was established to show the relevance of the qualitative methodology for this study and to strengthen and make people aware of the relevance of the traditional knowledge from different fields, mainly from science and the traditional knowledge, standing out whenever it is possible to, its relationship with people?s health and their conception of life and nature. After a theoretical and methodological analysis about what modern science may be, and taking into account the interdisciplinary view and the qualitative methodology, it was possible to conclude that science and health are cultural elements with a new meaning - a common learning process in a form of an epistemology that makes us understand how some hypotheses, methodologies and techniques in different fields of knowledge work.
