In solidarity with Global South voices working to center marginalized knowledge systems within nursing scholarship, this critical essay proposes Narsolohiyang Pilipino as a decolonial paradigm for theorizing nursing grounded in Filipino epistemologies and lifeways. Anchored in the Pluriverse of Nursologies (PoN), the paper advocates for the pluricentricity of nursing knowledge beyond Western and Global North (W&GN) paradigms. It begins by establishing PoN as the paper's philosophical foundation, then articulates the rationale for formalizing Filipino nursologies. Next, it describes Narsolohiyang Pilipino as a tentative decolonial paradigm for pagdadalumat (theorizing) in nursing, identifying its key philosophical movements: pagbaklas (disassembling) and pag-ugnay (connecting). Lastly, the paper presents a brief exemplar of Filipino nursological analysis through the local concept of pakikiramdam (relational attunement), then it maps the possibilities, challenges, and caveats of advancing Narsolohiyang Pilipino.</p>","PeriodicalId":49724,"journal":{"name":"Nursing Philosophy","volume":"26 3","pages":"e70033"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144660883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on the work of German critical philosopher Axel Honneth, I present a critical-social and philosophical perspective that reinterprets these transformations as pathological consequences with devastating impacts on how we understand what human beings and social relations are. I argue that in a neoliberal context, nursing care becomes a form of reification defined as 'forgetfulness of recognition' of the human identity of the patient which contradicts the assumed ethical foundations of nursing. The article provides a detailed account on how neoliberal rationality that governs nursing performance promotes an objective and a 'neutral stance' of care that neglects emotional engagement and deals with the patient as an object or a thing which violates all dimensions of patient recognition. I also emphasize that neoliberalism must rather be understood as a specific form of governmentality that goes beyond mere economization and structures a specific way of understanding people in the healthcare context. Neoliberal rationality, as conceptualized in this article, not only considers human being as homo economicus, where decisions are based on economic ideals, but also neutralizes relationships and disseminates an 'objective' and purely scientific stance in caring interactions. This leads to the detachment of nurses and reification of patients. Thus, nursing care is reduced to an instrumental rationality that focuses on technical care, which diminishes any possibility for nurses to engage with patients and understand their unique phenomenological world necessary for coping and recognition. Finally, nurses are urged to raise their voices against neoliberal rationality that programs their ideas of what 'good care' is. A critical emancipatory mode of thinking provides an opportunity to challenge neoliberal rationality and revitalize nursing agency to resist the devastating transformations taking place in health care.</p>","PeriodicalId":49724,"journal":{"name":"Nursing Philosophy","volume":"26 2","pages":"e70021"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11896633/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143607084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Developed by North American legal scholar Martha Fineman in 2008, a contemporary macro-legal-political theory with potential to inform studies related to the nexus between healthcare and law is 'vulnerability theory.' Conceiving vulnerability as a universal, inevitable, and enduring aspect of the human condition, it contends that the onus is on the State to respond to universal vulnerability by ensuring institutions and structures do not confer unfair advantage or disadvantage. When access to rights is particularly difficult, a 'targeted group approach' should be considered as well as consideration of the notion that responses to vulnerability have the potential to increase vulnerability.

The Art of Caring model represents a philosophical and theoretical rethinking of an ethical approach. It draws upon the works of the Danish philosopher Løgstrup, the French philosopher Levinas as well as selected aspects of Merleau Ponty. The Art of Caring model is illustrated by coppersmith and artist Michaela Ivarsdotter, further developed and reflected upon with Anna Bratt, a psychologist working according to the compassion-focused tradition. The model is made to disclose and visualise the Art of Caring and facilitate reflections on achieving a win-win situation for both patients and different professionals within emergency care. Healthcare involves a variety of professions, and for the benefit of the patient, we must recognise the significance of professionals taking on the advocacy role from a caring science perspective, which includes the unique and shared experiences of the lifeworld. This is a challenge within the context of demanding efficiency and time pressure in emergency care. To address this, a concrete action plan for ethical reflections is needed to find a balance between giving and receiving, essential for healthcare professionals to avoid compassion fatigue. In the context of ethical competence and the challenges faced by different healthcare professionals within emergency care, the Art of Caring model could be used for ethical reflections, as an approach to achieve a balance between patient advocacy, ethical considerations, and effective emergency care delivery. Achieving this goal will lead to better patient outcomes and a more supportive work environment for the entire emergency care team.</p>","PeriodicalId":49724,"journal":{"name":"Nursing Philosophy","volume":"26 2","pages":"e70024"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11938335/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143711924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
