Example text
Examples of this way of viewing knowledge would include the pre-Galileo view of the sun orbiting the earth or the beliefs held as true by the ‘flat earth’ society or the focus on community care as opposed to institutional care for those with mental health problems. Paradigm shifts occurred because these paradigms (world views) were not able to explain new experiences or solve new problems. These views of Kuhn’s did much to undermine the empirical/ positivist view of science. Larry Laudan (1977) challenged Kuhn’s (1970) view that knowledge development was a revolutionary process.
2. Therefore, critical theory assumes that all research and theory are socio-political constructions; that human societies are by their nature oppressive; and that all views and interpretations of the world are open to criticism. This focus on education, enlightenment, emancipation, empowerment, critique and change is an attractive perspective to many nurses and the increase in the number of action research studies in nursing in recent years supports this point. 2 Three major concepts of critical theory Enlightenment: knowledge of self in relation to the world and education of the oppressed in terms of their potential capacity to bring about change; Empowerment: social transformation through some form of educative process; Emancipation: a state of reflective clarity where people have a sense of themselves and can freely and collectively determine the directions they should take in life.
So the linkage between theory and research will give us science, and science is the body of knowledge that determines whether a group of people working towards a common goal represent a discipline. Summary This chapter has focused upon theoretical terms with which at this stage you may be unfamiliar. I have arbitrarily divided these terms into global, working and middle terms. Global terms relate to a very broad world view concerning the knowledge base of professions. Working terms are those elements, such as concepts and propositions, that come together to form middle terms such as theories and models.
