Abstract
Both the manner and content of Charles Taylor's writings and lectures have shaped my research in nursing. Taylor's effective critique of the narrow theory-bound nature of the social sciences and his explication and defence of interpretive phenomenology for the human sciences provide the content that guides my examination of the knowledge embedded in nursing practice, and the experiences of suffering and comfort as central to that practice. His writings and lectures provide a dialogical manner imbued with an ethic of listening, and respectful articulation of self and other. His view of practical reasoning as involving the enabling transition toward increasingly perspicuous interpretive stances, and his phenomenological understanding of the experience of gain, and of liberation from impediments to action to which such transitions give rise, provide an accurate account of a practice-based ground for knowing similar to the practical, engaged reasoning characteristic of clinical nursing practice:
