Abstract

Abstract:

This article develops the characteristics of a particular moment of the notion of technē. Part of a current definition of art, he understands its simplicity and articulates it with the development of the old notion of technē. As part of this development, the text makes explicit the arguments of the Hippocratic texts that rejected the criticisms of medical practice and responded to them by linking it to the idea of ​​technē. Finally, the text links the current concept of art relating it to the responses to the criticisms of medicine displayed in the Hippocratic texts.

Keywords: technē, artistic practice art, hipocratic texts
