Area of Science:

  • Philosophy of Nursing
  • Health Humanities
  • Bioethics

Background:

  • Humanism has intermittently appeared in nursing literature.
  • The term is currently resurfacing in health humanities, linked to humanities and being humane.
  • Existing literature offers critiques of humanism within nursing and medical contexts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To re-evaluate the concept of humanism for its relevance to nursing.
  • To avoid dichotomizing nursing into binary oppositions (e.g., art/science, technology/caring).
  • To explore humanism's potential without over-determining the human subject.

Main Methods:

  • Review of humanism's usage and critiques in nursing and medical literature.
  • Drawing on philosophical texts, particularly Emmanuel Levinas and Edward Said.
  • Analysis of humanism's connection to ethical obligations and critical discernment.

Main Results:

  • Humanism emphasizes obligation towards others and critical discernment in history and culture.
  • The term 'humanism' has diverse meanings, including associations with scientism, particularly in the UK.
  • Humanism presents a potentially productive, yet complex and problematic, tradition for nursing.

Conclusions:

  • Humanism offers valuable perspectives for understanding nursing.
  • It encourages a focus on ethical responsibility and critical engagement.
  • Nursing should engage with humanism carefully, recognizing its problematic nature rather than adopting it as an essential definition.
