El estatuto científico de la política se refuerza, además, con el uso de la analogía entre la ciencia práctica y la ciencia médica, a la cual Aristóteles recurre con frecuencia. Finalmente, argumento que, desde el punto de vista metodológico, el libro Z es un tratado acerca del principio práctico por excelencia que es la prudencia o &#966;&#1009;&#972;&#957;&#951;&#963;&#953;&#962;.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: In this article I discuss that, in spite of the difficulty involved in distinguishing practical science from practical wisdom (&#966;&#1009;&#972;&#957;&#951;&#963;&#953;&#962;), in the Nicomachean Ethics, book Z, Aristotle holds some theses that allow the confirmation of the scientific status of politics and, thus, allow its differentiation from practical wisdom: the Stagirite conceives not only a proper field of study about the practical science, yet he declares the presence of universal principles of action, principles which are susceptible of scientific research since they involve a certain degree of scientific necessity. Moreover, the scientific status of politics is being strengthened by the use of the analogy between practical science and medical science, which Aristotle recurrently uses. Finally, I argue that from a methodological point of view, book Z is a treatise about the practical principle par excellence, practical wisdom or &#966;&#1009;&#972;&#957;&#951;&#963;&#953;&#962;.]]></p></abstract>
