Abstract

In this paper, we engage in philosophical inquiry to consider the relevance of Indigenous Knowledges (IKs) for reimagining dementia care for individuals living with dementia. We outline the limitations of philosophical perspectives aligned with Eurocentric academic knowledge, arguing that such knowledge relies on an individualistic view of self and neglects the body and embodied experience in dementia care. We demonstrate how a personal diachronicity perspective diminishes the importance of valuing the fluid and dynamic self-identities of persons living with dementia. We then turn to the epistemological foundations of IKs through philosophical inquiry, focusing on relationality, connectiveness, and holism, and discuss the role of IKs in institutional knowledge systems. We then explore the potential relevance of IKs to widen the epistemological and ontological gaze centering on the relational concepts of personhood, holism, continuity, embodiment, and homogeneity of self that are foundational to reimaging dominant approaches to dementia care.

探索土著知识与痴呆护理的相关性。

在本文中，我们从事哲学探究，以考虑土著知识（IKs）的相关性，以重新构想痴呆症患者的痴呆症护理。我们概述了与欧洲中心学术知识一致的哲学观点的局限性，认为这种知识依赖于个人主义的自我观，忽视了痴呆症护理中的身体和具体化经验。我们展示了个人的历时性观点如何降低了重视痴呆症患者流动和动态自我身份的重要性。然后，我们通过哲学探究转向ik的认识论基础，重点关注关联性、连接性和整体性，并讨论ik在制度知识系统中的作用。然后，我们探索IKs的潜在相关性，以扩大认识论和本体论的关注，集中在人格、整体、连续性、体现和自我同质性等相关概念上，这些概念是重新构想痴呆症护理主要方法的基础。

期刊介绍： Nursing Philosophy provides a forum for discussion of philosophical issues in nursing. These focus on questions relating to the nature of nursing and to the phenomena of key relevance to it. For example, any understanding of what nursing is presupposes some conception of just what nurses are trying to do when they nurse. But what are the ends of nursing? Are they to promote health, prevent disease, promote well-being, enhance autonomy, relieve suffering, or some combination of these? How are these ends are to be met? What kind of knowledge is needed in order to nurse? Practical, theoretical, aesthetic, moral, political, ''intuitive'' or some other? Papers that explore other aspects of philosophical enquiry and analysis of relevance to nursing (and any other healthcare or social care activity) are also welcome and might include, but not be limited to, critical discussions of the work of nurse theorists who have advanced philosophical claims (e.g., Benner, Benner and Wrubel, Carper, Schrok, Watson, Parse and so on) as well as critical engagement with philosophers (e.g., Heidegger, Husserl, Kuhn, Polanyi, Taylor, MacIntyre and so on) whose work informs health care in general and nursing in particular.
