Aristotle defines téchne as the art of being productive with the company of real reasoning. Therefore, reasoning is not a "doing something", but a "know how". Our concern in this reflection is to understand this intellectual habit, its relationship with modern technique and its application by the scientists that use animals for experiments. This professional exercise (téchne) is an art that can transmit emotions, sensations and which constitutes and awakening for the inner magic inside the scientist. Thus results in scientific actions being mediated by upright reasoning and by scientist´s capability to avoid doing harm to other living beings.esBioéticaExperimentos con animalesExperimentaciónExperimentación científicaSistema de Investigación LasallistaArticle
