Abstract

Objective: To analyze the Aristotelian techne and its implications for the nursing care. Methodology: Reflective text governed by the question: how can Aristotelian philosophy imply nursing care? For this answer, the main elements that found Aristotle’s philosophy in book II of Physics and in the work Metaphysics; and the notions that this philosophy projects on the science and art of nursing are stablished. Results: The art of the profession is manifested in care practice, research, and teaching for nursing care. Conclusion: Nursing care is a combination of know-think, know-how, and know-coexist expressed in the techne of the profession; this encompasses manual skills, capacity for innovation, human behavior towards the patient, organization, management of people and units; it mediates the scientific and dialogic encounter, marked by the aesthetic sense, with the patient. In the Aristotelian system, episteme, praxis, and poiesis are in an indissoluble relationship.
