Postmodern nursing
Public Interest, Summer, 2000 by Sarah Glazer
In setting science against humanism, nurse-theorists seem to have forgotten that there is still an important biological component in nursing. The postmodern critiques focusing on power relationships, gender, and class may help us to understand nursing in its social aspects. But nursing is also rooted in biological reality. Unless it goes totally postmodern, that dimension of nursing will remain crucial.
