title: [Ethics and the aesthetics of care].
abstract: The objective of this article is to recuperate the link in traditional western thinking between ethics an aesthetics and to apply it to nursing care practice. To achieve this objective, first the author analyzes the concepts ethics and aesthetics; this analysis is followed by a study of this conceptual link through various authors' article, and finally, the author applies this tandem ethics-aesthetics to nursing care, which shows that in nursing care, good deeds are inseparable from good action.
