The culture of aesthetics and taste education as the path for training and humanization in health

Based on the hot-button discussion about humane health care, this essay aims to discuss the approach to the necessary contribution of the theory of culture and taste education. Upon bringing up, from a historical and philosophical perspective, Goethe's concepts of Kultur and Bildung and the understanding that training is a result of taste education, we seek to think of the humanization of health professionals beyond the implementation of technical training policies applied in daily work as an effective personal training experience that goes through a cultural experience.
