The article argues that Popular Health Education has a plurality of themes and allows enriching the public health debate in different fields of production. It is based mainly on the analysis of papers written by Eymard Mourão Vasconcelos between 1994 and 2009, systematizing his reflections about the themes of subjectivity and spirituality, management of teams and health services, and the State in the health sector. As this author’s proposals are gradually presented, possibilities of discussion with other authors in the health field are suggested. These authors’ ideas strengthen or question Vasconcelos’ formulations, which shows the richness of the debate that can be generated from such approaches.
