Abstract (English):	Epidemiology is an ongoing discipline (i.e. still being constructed) and many of the foundations of the theory and methods now in use were mostly developed during the second half of the twentieth century, arising from what is known today as "modern epidemiology". This paper summary the history and main ideas which guided epidemiology at that time, the debates and divisions that characterized such advance and presents a "biased" point of view concerning the perspectives which could help thinking about the disciplinary development of epidemiology.

Abstract (Spanish):	La epidemiología es una disciplina en construcción, y muchos de los fundamentos de la teoría y métodos actualmente en uso lograron mayor desarrollo en la segunda mitad del siglo XX en la que es conocida hoy como la "Epidemiología Moderna". Este artículo es un resumen de los antecedentes y principales ideas que han guiado los desarrollos de la epidemiología a partir de esos años, de algunos de los debates y "fisuras" que han caracterizado esos desarrollos y, finalmente, de una posición "sesgada" de las perspectivas que considero pueden ayudar a pensar el desarrollo disciplinar de la epidemiología.
