Abstract
This article is about the well-known and old discussion about the distinction between the te-chnical and the theoretical knowledge and the contemporary techno-scientific output. It also
examines how the invention of microscopy and the Drexler´s theory eased the birth and the
development of nanotechnology, and insists on the necessity of ethically reflect about nanote-chnology from the nanoethics. The article states how nanoethics in immersed in the scientific
and academic languages, but lacks an essence that identifies it as a way of applied ethics. Five
possible meanings of nanoethics, as the term is currently understood, are described. The con clusion remarks the importance of bioethics and general ethics concerning life as zoé and bios, from the organic
life and the social life´s viewpoints.
