This paper offers a case study in the depoliticization of the concept of praxis as it enters the nursing literature through Margaret Newman's (1990) paper Theory of Health as Praxis, which draws on Lather's (1986) description of 'research as praxis.' Newman's view of the relationship between consciousness and matter is contrasted with that of Marxism and her concept of health-illness is discussed. These considerations yield some examples of the liberal-democratic ideological position which underwrites her theory, and it is suggested that in drawing on the notion of praxis, Newman borrows from an ideology which is ultimately at odds with her theoretical construction of nursing.
本文提供了一个关于实践概念去政治化的案例研究，该概念通过玛格丽特·纽曼（1990）的论文《作为实践的健康理论》进入护理文献，该论文借鉴了拉瑟（1986）对“作为实践的研究”的描述。纽曼关于意识与物质关系的观点与马克思主义的观点形成对比，并讨论了她的健康-疾病概念。这些思考产生了一些支持她理论的自由民主意识形态立场的例子，并且有人认为，在借鉴实践概念时，纽曼借鉴了一种最终与其护理理论构建相矛盾的意识形态。
