Think about the care becomes a philosophical reflection, contemplation of a movement of care initiatives that fortify the knowledge that constitute the knowledge in the disciplines of health. This experience report makes approximations of phenomenological philosophy with the ontology of care, which participates in the corpus of knowledge of the disciplines of health. Sought to know through the slit of the time the thought of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Immanuel Kant, Hegel, Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Alfred Schutz, and how these thinkers reflect ontological construction of care to our days. It is observed that the current phenomenological presents, through contributions of these important thinkers in the formation of what is understood today as care and how health professionals are bound by this theoretical basis.
