Coming to Know Personhood: Philosophical ‘Dates’

Megan Dickson, Ailsa McMillan

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

A clear philosophical foundation is vital to developing rigorous nursing research. However, philosophy is often experienced as dense and difficult to engage with. Our intention in this chapter is to introduce the notion of philosophical ‘dates’. By dating philosophers, you can familiarise yourself with their main ideas and arguments. The purpose of dating is to find and articulate philosophies that enable us to strive towards epistemological and ontological authenticity.
