In the background of the thematic The Eldest – life is acquiring one finds both previews and myths. Wisdom belongs to these myths. The hermeneutical philosophy refers to thinking as o movement from myth to logos in a dialogical oneness. The research uncovers dimensions in the element wisdom as empowered. The experiences of older are saved for further learning and transformation to younger with reference to vulnerable situations where common regulations are no more usefull. The interest goes to an Eldest. The Eldest in the study is pictorial in accordance to the main literature in the study.The Eldest is etymological, fictive and symbolic: – a man who understands higher matters of life, even Gods holy matters. She will set the fulfillment of others as the highest endowment out of an innermost ethos and an innermost wisdom. The innermost is wisdom. The aim is to discover a meaningful message in life is acquiring. In order to see and to learn from the experiences the study aim to uncover the innermost, an innermost wisdom out of a caritative approach. This innermost is anticipated as a longing for unity and health in dayly matters and in a caring ability for the other. The main overstatement is: What will this most meaningfull and innermost by the Eldest out of a living in factual life mirrored in a caring perspective be? Two questions expired; what will the meaningful message in the acquiring be? What will the innermost wisdom in serving the good be? This message and its innermost wisdom will get an expanded meaning out of a caring sentence: Man who dare – seeing back with gratitude, seeing forward in confidence, seeing aside with love and upward in fate wear that dignity, that holiness and that mercy and empathy which belong to life in its basics. The persons attending the research are situated in two contexts. One group has roots in the Lutheran church and the other in a caring profession. The datamaterial is formed out of the usages from these persons, from the spoken (conversation) and the written word (a guestbook). The usages as particular and common are continually integrated in the leading caring sentence from the beginning of the study to the end. The usages stand by the methodological for the final message and wisdom and at the same they form the operative dimension in the study, the evident and the validity. The overarching methodological approach is in the hermeneutic philosophy in accordance with the abductive logic. The usages out of two research groups are most significant in this deductive, inductive and abductive strategy. The usages from the research groups are confronted with the caring sentence in dialogical spaces, halts. The meaning and the innermost searched for will be pictured through the abductive and hermeneutic interpretation and will stand for an articulation of and a successively expansion of meaning. A twine of horizons out of the entire dissemination, the deductive and the inductive, creates the result, as the final message as the ground for an understanding of an even more embracing meaning in an innermost wisdom. The identified bearing movement in the groups in accordance with the caring sentence goes for something higher, something higher than me, to the wellbeing of the other. A conclusion is made and a thesis is identified. This thesis is out from the usages: What can I do in a creating of this caritative? An antithesis is also identified, is a man able to look outside one own and go to something higher, something greater? The synthesis is articulated as a dialogical movement from something … to something higher. The bridge could be maturation, transcendence, the divine or wisdom. The statement finds its root in the attending groups but a difference is also identified. This higher matter is different. The contexts and their meaningfulness decide. A final statement is: learn to see man and her matters hold in life.

This thesis in caring science didactics is based on a thinking, where the fundamental basis for the didactic is science-based, i.e. it does not emanate from the nursing profession but brings forward a didactic that grows out of caring science and its core substance and ethos. This view on didactics arises from the caritative theory developed by Eriksson. The overall aim of the study is to clarify the meaning and essence of understanding, as well as to explore and deepen the understanding of student nurses' processes of understanding and becoming with the intention of developing a theory model for caring didactics. The overarching research questions are: What is the essence of understanding (of caring science knowledge)? What are the possibilities and importance of understanding in the appropriation of caring science? What characterizes and impels the process of becoming? The thesis consists of four sub studies and a summary section. The overall methodological approach is hermeneutic involving quantitative as well as qualitative methods. The data for the study has been collected through a longitudinal research project that followed student nurses at three universities during their entire education. The empirical sub studies form the basis for the interpreted knowledge that is formulated in the new understanding. This new understanding have, through additional theory-charging with the theory fragments from Gadamer, generated the heuristic synthesis which is illustrated in the theory model. The findings shows that understanding can be described as something unlimited, as an endless movement, which can be illustrated as a lying eighth, a lemniscate. The lemiscate of understanding is characterized by seeing, knowing and becoming and consists of seven differently named phases; the acquired horizon of understanding, the encounter of horizons, the dialogue of horizons, the fusion of horizons, application, reflection and shaping a new horizon of understanding. Bildung (formation), is the ultimate imprint of the endless spiral movement of understanding. Ethos and arête constitute the hubs around which the lemniscate of understanding circles. These include the spirit and driving force that the student carries within. The caring culture encloses the lemniscate of understanding. The caring culture provides the life space of understanding and the prevailing basic values are evinced in the culture.

Denna vårdvetenskapliga grundforskning syftar till att ur ett vårdvetenskapligt perspektiv och genom en hermeneutisk ansats fördjupa förståelsen för tiden och hur den gestaltas i vårdandets värld ur patientens synvinkel. Ett abduktivt syfte är att söka evidens för hur tiden kunde gestaltas ur ett vårdvetenskapligt perspektiv. Forskningsuppgiften är att teoretiskt och empiriskt utveckla kunskap om tidens substans och ontologi i vårdandets värld i ljuset av hälsa och lidande. Forskningsdesignen består av att genom induktion, deduktion och abduktion skapa hermeneutiska förståelsehorisonter. Sökandet efter det sanningslika och friläggandet av mening sker genom begreppsbestämning, tolkning av filosofers texter och tolkning av patienters texter. Vid avtäckandet av teorifragment har ett hermeneutiskt kunskapsarkeologiskt närmelsesätt utprövats. Horisontsammansmältningen framträder genom en vårdvetenskaplig mångdimensionell klangbotten och därigenom skapas den sammanvävda bilden. Bilden framvisar en frambrytande vårdvetenskaplig teorigestaltning där tid och det tidlösa i tiden bildar en dialogisk rörelse. Den mångdimensionella tiden tillför gestaltningar av dimensioner, skikt och nivåer. Den ontologiska nivån presenteras som ’flödande tid’, ’tillvarons tid’, ’kroppsligt innesluten tid’ och ’den andres föregående tid’. Tidens väsensdimensioner artikuleras som ’besittningstiden’, ’nuflödet’ och ’tidens genuina skepnad’. Tidens ’rymd’ eller det som kunde ses som en transcendent nivå har indelats i ’den förlösande tiden’, ’den tidlösa tiden’ och ’evighetshägring’. Den existentiella nivån framträder i en dialogisk rörelse mellan hälsa och lidande och synliggör tidens dubbelhet genom den yttre tidens gestaltade rörelse och den inre tidens beslöjade rörelse. Patienters vittnesbörder om tidsupplevelser, vilka framstiger inom vårdandets värld har genom en tolkningsrörelse förts in i dialog mellan ’hälsa’ och ’lidande’. Därigenom bildas ett mönster som visar på den genom lidandet förändrade tidens gestalt. Denna är en grund för den vårdande tidens tankemönster. Tankemönstret presenteras som ’tidspektras valv’, ’nuvarons tillgänglighet’ och ’varda i tid att lida ut’.

Avhandlingen syftar till att ur ett vårdvetenskapligt perspektiv beskriva och upptäcka tjänandets meningsinnehåll samt fördjupa förståelsekunskap om tjänandets ethos i förhållande till vårdledarskap med en inriktning på det vårdadministrativa. Syftet är även att skapa en idealmodell som öppnar för en ny eller annorlunda förståelsehorisont för tjänandets ethos i vårdledarskap. Kunskapssökandet sker genom följande delstudier: (1) I begreppsbestämningen genomförs begreppsanalyser av tjäna och tjänst med avsikt att öppna för en grundförståelse och tankestruktur i forskningsuppgiften. (2) I det idéhistoriska spåras tjänandets ontologiska arv och idémönster fram genom tolkning av historiska källornas texter från 1900-talets första hälft i ljuset av sjuksköterskeledarskap utgående från Sophie Mannerheims, Bertha Wellins och Bergljot Larssons idéer och tankeströmningar. (3) Sökandet fortsätter i dagens kliniska kontextbas genom kvalitativa djupintervjuer med 30 deltagare (vårdledare och vårdare) från Finland, Sverige och Norge. Förförståelsen och forskningens teoretiska perspektiv har rötter i Erikssons caring science-tradition och vårdvetenskapens ontologiska grundantaganden som utvecklats vid Åbo Akademi, Enheten för vårdvetenskap i Vasa. Forskningsansatsen är inspirerad av H-G Gadamers filosofiska hermeneutik. Designen är explorativ-deskriptiv, idiografisk och implicerar ett hypotetisk-deduktivt tillvägagångssätt. Tjänandet och vårdledarskapets ethos upptäcks och tolkas genom det metodologiska närmandet: Erikssons hermeneutiska begreppsbestämningsmodell, idéhistoriska läsakt och hermeneutiska läsakt. Materialet bildar förståelsehorisonter genom den hermeneutiska dialogens successiva och oändliga rörelse. Horisonterna reflekteras mot teorikärnan för att öppna för ny förståelse av tjänandets meningsinnehåll, vårdledarskap och vårdadministration. I slutandet sker en horisontsammansmältning och en reflektiv anslutning till vårdvetenskapens teorikärna som visar hur tjänandets ethos blir evident i vårdledarskap. Resultatet visar att vårdledarskap som är tjänande för patienten och vårdkulturen synliggörs i vårdadministrationens kontext genom huvudets skärpa, handens gärningar och hjärtats visdom. Tjänandets sanna, goda och sköna tidlösa rörelse är riktad mot hälsa och helande. I dag sammankopplas tjänande inom vårdorganisationer med hälsoekonomiska förhållanden, effektivitet, produktivitet och rationalitet, vilket strider mot tjänandets värdegrund, människans värdighet och respekt för livet. Vårdorganisationernas etiska ansvar är att fungera som samhälleliga förebilder, tillrättalägga för vårdadministrationernas tjänande och stå i patientens tjänst. Gestaltningen av tjänandets ethos i vårdledarskap öppnar för nya diskurser, riktningar, visioner och handlingar i den vårdadministrativa verkligheten. Avhandlingen ger vårdvetenskapens systematiska grundforskning ett teoritillskott av fördjupad förståelse av tjänandets och vårdledarskapets historiska och samtida ontologiska evidens och ethos med applikationen på klinisk vårdvetenskap.

The aim of the study and research questions: The aim of this study is to illuminate how caring communion can aid in promoting health as becoming in elderly people in the context of natural caring. The target group of the study consists of elderly citizens living at home. The focus of this thesis is on the concept of communion and how caring communion can affect the inner health resources in a patient’s inner health domain, as well as how caring communion can support health as becoming and inner health resources in the elderly. The main research questions of this study are the following: 1) what does communion mean? 2) what does caring communion mean? 3) what is the connection between caring communion and health? Theoretical perspective: The theoretical perspective of this qualitative study relies on the caritative caring theory as developed by scholars of caring sciences at the Åbo Academi University’s Vasa unit. The caritas motive is based on an ethos built on a consideration of togetherness, i.e. caring communion, a place where one feels at home and where one can be the person one was meant to be. Methodology: A hermeneutic research approach based on Gadamer (1997) permeates the study. This entails that understanding and interpretation become central. The study conducted in the thesis is divided into three sub-studies. Sub-study one and two are based on ontological determination whereas the third sub-study is carried out by contextual determination. The first sub-study is conducted by etymological and semantic analysis of the concept of communion (gemenskap) based on Koort (1975) and the second sub-study by determining the basic epistemological category of the concept based on Eriksson (2010b). Sub-study three is conducted through content analysis of 18 multidisciplinary and 13 caring science articles and dissertations based on Kvale (2009). The aim in the third sub-study is to define caring communions in various contexts of meaning based on Eriksson´s model of conceptual determination (2010b). All studies are interpreted through hermeneutic interpretation where the continuous movement from a part of a whole, to the whole, to part again, leads to new understanding. Finally, the findings from all the three sub-studies are compared to the concepts of pre-understanding and the inner-health-domain model of Wärnås (2002). Results: The results of the study offer a description of the dimensions of caring communion and a model that illuminates how caring communion can further health as becoming. The fundamentals of caring communion rest on the idea of a human being’s absolute right to dignity as a base for communion. The concept of communion contains a moral, an ethical, and a spiritual component. In communion, there exists a moral and ethical responsibility and a willingness to commit oneself. The individual is part of a connection or relation and knows the aim and course for the communion. A caring connection, a caring culture, a caring atmosphere and caring listening are characteristics of caring communion. In caring communion, the elderly feel trusting and see themselves as unique, powerful, and valuable. The model demonstrates that when the elderly are able to rest in caring communion, the virtues of courage and faith become strong and desire for life awaken within the elderly and health as becoming becomes possible. Conclusions: The outcome of the study is that all communion is not necessarily caring communion. In order for communion to be caring and for the elderly to achieve health as becoming, there are certain criteria that must be met. This is especially important when designing activities for the elderly in the context of natural caring.

The main aim of the study is to elucidate the meaning and dimensions of the concept of „virtue‟, and to find the place of virtue in a caritative caring ethics, i.e. a caring ethics based on human love and mercy. The intention is to create a theory model which utilizes the possibilities of virtue in developing the caritative caring ethics as a whole. The caritative caring ethics has a universal potential – it is primarily not a professional ethics, but it may form a frame of reference and basis for formulating ethical codes, and for ethical discussions within different caring contexts. The hermeneutic approach of the study is inspired by Gadamer‟s philosophical hermeneutics combined with the view of hermeneutics as a hypothetical-deductive process. The study is guided by Eriksson‟s model of definition of concepts. The concept of „virtue‟ is studied focusing on its ethical dimensions. These ethical dimensions of virtue are seen as anchored to an inner ethos, whereas ethos stands for the ontological goodness, a basic notion of the Good that permeates the entity of the human being, and forms the base of the culture where he lives and acts. The overarching research questions are: 1. What is virtue? 2. What is „virtue‟ as a basic concept in caring science? 3. What place does virtue have in caritative caring ethics? The answer of the first question is mainly searched for by an ontological determination comprising partly an etymologic and semantic analysis of „virtue‟, and partly a determination of the essence of virtue. The answer to the second and third questions are mainly searched for using a contextual determination, where the purposive context and pragmatic features of virtue are studied in relation to caring ethics. The ontological and contextual determinations are brought together through hermeneutical interpretation, forming a new whole, which constitutes the results of the study. The results of the study are depicted in a theory model, in which the movement of virtue from ethos to deed is moulded as caritative caring ethics. The material of the study consists of dictionaries, texts written by Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas, articles, dissertations, and books, as well as parts of a pilot survey answered by 33 nurses. The results of the study show that the essence of virtue is primarily functional, not ethical. The ethical emerges when virtue is contextualized in a human communion. Virtue makes something fulfil its function well; makes the human being good, and gives him morals and morality. The human being needs prudence, love, and humility to acquire and develop the moral virtues. Virtue is a power, related to a value, which considering a caritative caring ethics consists of the caritas motif. Human love is shown through deeds, making the human being do what he is expected to do. Virtue, as an active power of becoming, affirms and clarifies the human being‟s ability to develop in the direction of the Good. Virtue becomes essential and unifying when morality appears in the human mind as auctoritas, an inner, prompting power based on divinity or a transcendental ethos. Together ethos and virtue create opportunities for an inner ethics based on voluntariness and joy in being and doing the true, the good, and the beautiful.

Syftet med studien är att utgående från ett vårdvetenskapligt perspektiv utveckla en teori för det vårdande samtalet, speciellt som det gestaltar sig i den psykiatriska vårdkontexten. Avsikten är primärt att tillföra den kliniska vårdvetenskapen kunskaper om hur samtal mellan vårdare och patienter kan lindra lidande. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i ett vårdvetenskapligt perspektiv som har sina rötter i Katie Erikssons caritativa vårdteori. Den metodologiska ansatsen är hermeneutisk. Forskningen har genomförts i form av fem delstudier som publicerats i internationella vetenskapliga tidskrifter. Metoderna som använts är: 1) en fenomenologisk hermeneutisk ansats för att beskriva det vårdande samtalet som det skildras av sjuksköterskor och patienter i intervjuer, 2) kvalitativ forskningssyntes av studier rörande begreppen närvaro, beröring och lyssnande, 3) kvalitativ forskningssyntes av studier rörande begreppen narrativer, berättelser, mening och förståelse, 4) en hermeneutisk ansats inspirerad av Paul Ricoeurs hermeneutik för att undersöka hur psykiatriska patienter i samtal med vårdare berättar om lidande, 5) en hermeneutisk analys av de etiska fundamenten för ett vårdande samtal i ljuset av Paul Ricoeurs etik. Resultaten från de fem delstudierna formar utgångspunkten för en teori för hur ett vårdande samtal kan tolkas. Teorin består av tre aspekter, den relationella, den narrativa, och den etiska, vilka undersökts i delstudierna. I den relationella aspekten kan vårdaren genom att lyssna, beröra och vara med-varande skapa en närvaro. Genom vårdarens gåva av sin närvaro, d v s att vara tillgänglig och till förfogande med hela sitt väsen, visas möjligheten till ett möte med patienten utan roller och inlärda repliker. När patienten kan besvara denna gåva med en inbjudan att dela något av sin värld, skapas en förbindelse i vilken patienten kan dela sitt lidande och sin värld med vårdaren. Den narrativa aspekten gestaltas i samtalet som patientens berättelse om sitt lidande. Lidandeberättelsen tar sin början i den fasad som patienten skyddar sig mot lidande och skam med. Frågan om varför patienten lider banar vägen både för en ny förståelse av fasaden och också för upplevelsen av en vändpunkt när fasadens skydd överges, vilket leder till en upplevelse av mening-i-lidandet. Artikuleringen av berättelsens poäng, mening-med-lidandet innebär dels en ny tolkning och förståelse för de förhållanden som rådde vid berättelsens början, dels de nya preferenser för hur patienten vill leva sitt liv som vuxit fram. Den etiska aspekten gestaltas i en relation som på grund av patientens lidande och vårdarens medlidande är asymmetrisk, men omfattar en ömsesidig respekt. Genom caritas skapar vårdaren ett utrymme där patienten kan (åter)upprätta sin självaktning, autonomi och sitt ansvar och därmed skapa möjligheter för ett gott liv.

Forskningens syfte var att bidra med en ny kunskapssyntes om vad det innebär att leda förändring ur ett vårdvetenskapligt perspektiv. Vårdledaren har, speciellt vid större förändringar inom organisationen, en stor betydelse för hur vårdandet förvaltas genom att hålla den vårdande traditionen levande och genom formningen av den vårdande kulturen och vårdgemenskapen. Den övergripande hermeneutiska forskningsansatsen med tillämpning av metodologisk triangulering har influerats av Gadamers, Ricoeurs och Ödmans syn på hermeneutik med förståelse och förklaring som kompletterar varandra. Forskningens övergripande frågeställning ”Vad innebär det att leda förändring ur ett vårdvetenskapligt perspektiv?” förankrades i de fyra underliggande frågeställningarna. Den första frågeställningen berörde meningsinnehållet i begreppet förändring samt dess gestaltning. Metoden var en hermeneutisk begreppsbestämning på en ontologisk och kontextuell nivå enligt Koorts metod för begreppsbestämning. Genom en personalenkät undersöktes personalens åsikter (totalt 597 personer) om den kommande fusionen och förändringen samt deras förväntningar på ledarna under förändringsprocessen för att få svar på vad förutsättningarna var för en förändring eller förändringsprocess med avsedda mål och effekter. Svaret på hur vårdledaren och dennes uppgifter gestaltades vid en förändring samt hur vårdledarna uppfattade förändring och den kommande förändringsprocessen erhölls genom djupintervjuer med vårdledare (17). Av resultatet framgår att vårdledaren leder förändring genom att leda relationer, processer och kultur och genom ett stödjande, reflekterande och kulturbärande ledarskap med syftet att åstadkomma en verklig och hållbar förändring. För att åstadkomma en verklig och hållbar förändring, dvs. en inre omgestaltning och omdaning som vardande, förutsätts dock att både tankemönster och handlanden förändras. Riktningen och insatserna för förändringen skall ha sin grund i en tydlig och meningsfull målsättning och vision utgående från en gemensam värdegrund. En arena för dialog borde utvecklas så att förändringens liksom även vårdandets vision och mission förankras och utvecklas till handling och förändring. Vårdledarens primära uppgift eller mission var att tillhandahålla varje individuell patient en god vård. Den primära missionen var med andra ord att med ansvarsfullhet tjäna vårdandet sak utgående från ett etiskt förhållningssätt. I tjänande av vårdandets sak fanns dock en tillit till att förändringen gagnar patienten och hans eller hennes vård, men vårdledarnas anpassning till förändringen var utan djupare engagemang. Vårdledarna kände även en oro för sitt uppdrag som vårdledare, vårdarbetets ställning och mandatet som patientens advokat. Vårdledaren är också en kulturbärare, vilket innebär att även kulturen har betydelse under en förändringsprocess. Genom att leda kulturen skapar vårdledaren en öppen, bekräftande och evidensbaserad atmosfär med centrala värderingar som ger uttryck för den rådande andan och kulturen.

This is a study in the field of caring science. The kinds of knowledge expansion and theoretical formation outlined in this thesis have a hypothetic-deductive design. The synthesizer of caring science between caring ethos and nursing intensity evolves through a hermeneutic movement between understanding and interpretation, in the dialectic tension between thesis and antithesis. The study had three main aims with corresponding research questions. The first aim was to deepen the understanding of caring ethos within the care of older people from the perspective of caring science. The second aim was to deepen the understanding of nursing intensity within the care of older people, again from the perspective of caring science. The third aim of the study was to create a theoretical model describing the synthesizer between the caring ethos and nursing intensity. The synthesizer of caring science between caring ethos and nursing intensity took place in a process of creativity, which resulted in six new patterns of interpretation. Good care is in constant movement and tension between the ethical and the unethical. In order to guarantee the older person of the future dignity, a caring community, and integrity in care, there is a need for an awareness of and responsibility for those entities than can become ethical problems and dilemmas. The model that describes the synthesizer between caring ethos and nursing intensity, consist of four cornerstones such as caring ethics, wishes and anticipations, an ethical manner in words and action, and ethical leadership. Good care based on the values dignity, a caring community, safety, and integrity, receive their legitimacy through ethical awareness, and consent among caregivers. Ethical awareness deepens the understanding of wishes and expectations that may arise as special needs. Care thus requires an awareness of the balance between the patient’s care need and optimal level of nursing intensity. An ethical leadership considers the needs of the patient and accepts nothing but a work situation where optimal nursing intensity and optimal resource allocation makes good care possible.

The present study is made in the context of basic research within the field of caring science. The overall aim is to uncover and make joy visible as an idea in the world of caring. The core of caring has historically always been to alleviate suffering and to serve life and health in a spirit of love and mercy. This study has a comprehensive direction focusing on history of ideas and culminates in a pattern of ideas contenting joy in the world of caring. Knowledge formation is based on creating understanding, wholeness and meaning with regard to the knowledge related to a context. For that a hermeneutical approach is used throughout the study. In order to understand joy more deeply, the original idea, the essence and expression, the concept of 'joy' and the related concepts of 'glad' and 'light' are examined in etymological dictionaries and in Swedish, English and Latin dictionaries. To support the interpretation classical texts containing philosophers’ thoughts about joy are used. Joy as an idea glimpses forth and is presented in the form of seven-fold pattern of ideas. Through the meaning-nuances of synonyms a realization of joy could be discerned and anchored in the heart. The seven-fold pattern form the background and represent a guide for the hermeneutic reading of joy, as it appears in the stories about caring for the years 1900–1933. The historical sources consist of the trade magazine Svensk sjukskötersketidning, books containing stories about caring, archival materials and textbooks on nursing. The result culminates in the seven-fold pattern of ideas contenting what makes joy active as caring. The true heart's pure joy - love, joy is a proof of love. The ardent heart's deep joy - joy of living, joy inspires and generates strength. The bearing heart's radiant joy - generosity, joy is a gift to the other with the promise of help. The inviting heart's sparkling joy – communion, joy invites communion. The elated heart's exhilarated joy - integration, joy enables the human to forget his or her suffering and approach to what he or she wants to be. The atmospheric heart's solemn joy - dignifying, joy creates a mood and an atmosphere where people perceive themselves dignified. The peaceful heart's great joy - rescuing, a joy turns out when the human has received what may be requested of what is good, is eluded from what is evil and is contented with his or her living lot. It is hoped that this basic research will open up for a vision that can contribute to joys further attention in the world of caring and be articulated there.

This caring science study explores ‘Will’ as an ontological concept. The aim is to deepen the understanding of the essence of Will, and to highlight the manifestations of Will and how Will becomes evident in clinical caring. Will is ontological and universal. Will is connected with the essence of the human being, and manifests in the human being as will. The approach is inspired by Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics. The study’s horizon of understanding consists of Eriksson’s caritative theory and the caring science-tradition. The study’s research questions are as follows: What is the essence of Will? What are its manifestations? How does Will become evident in clinical caring? The hermeneutic interpretative movement is initiated by the material, which consists of the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer’s texts, letters from experts and dictionaries. Meaning-bearing substance fragments in the material are intertwined with the original horizon of understanding through hermeneutical reading, hermeneutical interpretation and concept analysis in an oscillating interpretive movement. An abstraction occurs when the new substance is illuminated by the caring science ontology. The oscillating interpretive movement results in a reinterpreted horizon of understanding, which in turn provides the findings of the study. The reinterpreted horizon of understanding is presented in the form of a theoretical model and abductive theses. The essence of Will is represented in the theoretical model as the lifeaffirming and the loving force. Life and love are Will’s origin and destination. Will’s manifestations (its diversity) hold conditions and chance occurrences that obstruct Will. Hence the will of the human being does not necessarily appear in a way that is in tune with ontological Will. Will represents the lifeblood of ethos, and in this lifeblood love flows. Will acts by virtue of itself, and gives ethos its force. Will manifests in a way that ethos can affirm. When Will is affected by caring its force is active in the service of life and love. Being a caregiver entails acting as a world-eye, which means recognizing Will in diversity. For caregivers, being a world-eye means observing fragments of Will as it manifests in its original form in the real reality, and acting as the mirror of life. The human being who is able to perceive the fundamental values of life and to live according to these has understood the laws of life and entered upon the human calling. The human being then lives according to the fundamental order and has found a home in life.
