Abstract

Care is an eminently human practice, which –for nursing– becomes what approaches people's lives, the imperative need to survive, to invent and create habits, subjective ways of interacting that respond to own health and that of others. In this sense, the objective of this reflection is to make care known, from epistemology to understand it as a human condition; related to the spiritual sciences and natural sciences. To carry out what is proposed, an analysis of the disciplinary constructs is carried out, starting from the definition of nursing as an approximation to the experience of human health and care as one of the multiple phenomena of interest in nursing. The concepts of eroticism and love are problematized as a foundation of care and, therefore, also an object of study of the nursing discipline. Given this, it is concluded that care is a way of loving (oneself) and eroticism is the means by which the bond between human beings is generated in which care is possible, a place where the nurse is part of a knowledge and the processes that are carried out to achieve care.
