Understanding of care, quality of care, care models, care ethics, or care theory - nursing is full of anthropology! This diverse field provides insights into how we understand others and how this influences our nursing actions. The present textbook illuminates the connections between anthropology, perception, care, and ethics. It presents various anthropological positions and shows their relevance to nursing: What does Plato's allegory of the cave have to do with nursing practice? Why is the biblical notion of being created in God's image unsuitable for justifying human dignity? Does the principle of self-determination always apply in ethical dilemmas, or is it the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people? What attitudes exist in Islam regarding humanity? And what does the discussion of the spiritual dimension of humans entail? The textbook brings these topics to the forefront for discussion.
