Some aspects of the main currents in epidemiological thinking are discussed, particularly the conflict that leads to proposals to change its focus, expressed in the divide between traditional epidemiology and critical epidemiology. According to the structure of the document, it is a brief overview in three major sections, aimed at encouraging further debate in academic and research settings. It concludes that, whether named or not, with various labels or classifications, epidemiology remains the core discipline of public health, and its main goal is to help improve the health and well-being of populations.
