This paper attacks the Kantian conception of mortality that predominates in our society and the rationalist educational strategies that flow from it. In its place it offers an Aristotelian conception of ethics in which sensitivity and feeling are important components of practical reason. It argues that a nurse's ethical concerns extend further than the several moral dilemmas discussed in the daily press and that those concerns should be responded to in moral education by a process called 'empowerment'. Empowerment seeks to develop confidence and sensitivity in the making of difficult decisions and does so by training habits, developing attitudes, and encouraging reflection on actions performed.
本文抨击了在我们社会中占主导地位的康德式死亡观念以及由此衍生的理性主义教育策略。取而代之的是，它提出了一种亚里士多德式的伦理观念，其中敏感性和情感是实践理性的重要组成部分。它认为，护士的伦理关怀比日常媒体所讨论的几个道德困境更为广泛，并且在道德教育中，这些关怀应该通过一个称为“赋权”的过程来回应。赋权旨在培养在做出艰难决策时的信心和敏感性，它通过培养习惯、形成态度以及鼓励对所采取行动进行反思来实现这一点。
