    El conocimiento generado por la ciencia de Enfermería necesita analizarse a través de las preguntas ontológicas y epistemológicas que surgen desde el pensamiento filosófico. Estas preguntas pueden servir para clarificar aspectos relevantes de la indagación científica, en la cual enfermería, como disciplina, desarrolla su conocimiento sobre los cuidados. Este artículo de reflexión filosófica, en el contexto de habla hispana, discute tres premisas por las que enfermería como disciplina acepta que la ciencia de enfermería debiera ser más interpretativa que explicativa en su naturaleza, y qué implicaciones derivan para el propósito del conocimiento de enfermería.

    The nursing knowledge generated from nursing science needs to be analyzed through the ontological and epis-temological questions that arise from the philosophical thinking process. These questions can help clarify relevant aspects of the scientific inquiry on which nursing practice bases its knowledge of care provision. This paper discusses, in the context of philosophical reflection in Spanish-speaking countries, three premises by which nursing science should be more interpretative rather than explanatory, and the consequences that would arise for the purpose of nursing knowledge.
