This paper primarily concerns feminists' problems with Western philosophy and the implications of these for nursing. My interest arises from some reading of philosophy and a profound disenchantment with its male bias. As Susan Moller Okin says, readers should not be misled by the use of supposedly generic terms like 'mankind' and allegedly inclusive pronouns, into thinking philosophers intended to refer to the whole human race. Moira Gatens takes the view that feminists cannot ignore the frameworks and assumptions of traditional philosophy and identifies three major ways in which the relationship between feminist theory and philosophical discourse can be characterized. In contrasting Gatens' thesis with a nursing case in point about ways of viewing disciplines, some ideas emerge for nurses to find positive ways forward in the philosophical enterprise. The topic extends to feminists' reactions to postmodern thinking and subsequent questions raised by these for nurses and nursing.
本文主要关注女权主义者在西方哲学方面所面临的问题以及这些问题对护理学的影响。我的兴趣源于对哲学的一些阅读以及对其男性偏见的深深失望。正如苏珊·莫勒·奥金所说，读者不应被诸如“人类”这样所谓的通用术语以及据称具有包容性的代词的使用所误导，而认为哲学家们意图指代全人类。莫伊拉·加滕斯认为女权主义者不能忽视传统哲学的框架和假设，并指出了描述女权主义理论与哲学话语之间关系的三种主要方式。通过将加滕斯的论点与一个关于看待学科方式的护理学实例进行对比，一些观点浮现出来，可供护士们在哲学探索中找到积极的前进方向。该话题延伸至女权主义者对后现代思维的反应以及这些反应随后给护士和护理学带来的问题。
