Heidegger and the nurse curriculum
pp. 129-145
in: Philosophical issues in nursing, Berlin, Springer, 1998Abstract
In this chapter, Stephen Horrocks shows how the philosophical programme of Heidegger has application to the nursing context, specifically, to nurse education. Horrocks suggests that Cartesian conceptions of mind have helped to foster the presumption that theoretical knowledge precedes, or is more fundamental than, practical knowledge ("know-how').
