Abstract

In theorie met casussen als illustratie, begeeft de auteur zich meteen midden in de problemen die zij die in de zorgsector werkzaam zijn, dagelijks tegenkomen. Bij het zorgvuldig omgaan met die problemen blijkt een wijsgerige analyse veel steun te geven. Het boek stelt op een levendige en bijzonder leerzame wijze drie belangrijke problemen van de zorg aan de orde: a. Wie zijn dat, die mensen met wie ik te maken heb? En wie ben ik zelf eigenlijk? b. Wat is de betekenis, de zin van levens die zo aangetast zijn, gehandicapt of in waan, verdriet of hulpeloosheid gevangen? c. En hoe kunnen wij hun dan helpen? Ook kan dit boek beschouwd worden als een korte inleiding in de ethiek, de sociale filosofie of in de zingevingsproblematiek en het denken over zorg en hulpverlening. Het is vooral een boek dat aan het denken zet.

Abstract

In 'Caring', Peta Bowden extends and challenges recent debates on feminist ethics. She takes issue with accounts of the ethics of care that focus on alleged basic principles of caring rather than analysing caring in practice. Caring, Bowden argues, must be understood by 'working through examples'. Following this approach, Bowden explores four main caring practices : mothering, friendship, nursing and citizenship. Her analysis of the differences and similarities in these practices - their varying degrees of intimacy and reciprocity, formality and informality, vulnerability and choice - reveals the practical complexity of the ethics of care. 'Caring' recognizes that ethical practices constantly outrun the theories that attempt to explain them, and Bowden's unique approach provides major new insights into the nature of care without resorting to indiscriminate unitary models. It will be essential reading for all those interested in ethics, gender studies, nursing and the caring professions. Peta Bowden is lecturer in philosophy at Murdoch university, Western Australia.

Abstract

This text seeks to make a contribution to our understanding of the way our society responds to issues of death and dying. The transdisciplinary research which informs this discussion is situated in the disciplines of bioethics and palliative care, it uses postmodern notions of discourse and power to explore an organizational response to working with the dying at the Karuna Hospice Service. In modern, Western, technological societies, biomedicine is the dominant discourse which underpins our care of the terminally ill. Bioethics has recently emerged as a discipline concerned with resolving the many ethical dilemmas arising from such a physiological, technologized approach to death. Rather than to add to such studies, this research looks in the direction of alternative ways of responding to the dying in our community. The Karuna Hospice Service was chosen for this research as it presented the possibility of a holistic and spiritual alternative to the positivist, reductionist hegemony of scientific medicine.
