Philosophy of Human Occupation is a recent perspective of critical analysis and philosophical reflection on building knowledge of Occupational Science and clinical practice and research in Occupational Therapy.

This style, named as the official rhetoric of science, also appears in our fields of knowledge, which has corresponded to a constant and -partially- valid tradition from the logical positivism until the present. The content and form of the rhetorical elements, used in the current paradigmatic time of the profession, have been analyzed through a variety of examples. Therefore, critical reflection on knowledge building is promoted and a more democratic, diverse and culturally and epistemologically constituted scientific activity is fostered with regard to Occupational Therapy and Occupational Science. ; La Filosofía de la Ocupación Humana es una reciente perspectiva de análisis crítico y de reflexión filosófica respecto a la conformación de conocimiento de las Ciencias de la Ocupación y sobre la práctica clínica e investigaciones de la Terapia Ocupacional.
