Theories Of Action

Pain assessment is examined in the perspective of action science with the aim to discover espoused theories and theories-in-use for pain assessment. In action science there are 2 sets of theories of action: espouse theories and theories-in-use, which often exist in practice inconsistently with each other resulting in haphazard actions. Espoused theories of pain and pain assessment and a set of theories-in-use were revealed. Alignments between the espoused theories and the theories-in-use, and disparities between these theories were found in the pain assessment situations. The findings point to possible explanations regarding problems in pain assessment, and provide insights into our understanding of nursing practice especially in relation to pain assessment.

Radical Shift

Political science is in a state of crisis today. The crisis is the result of the scientistic predicament. Man has become the victim of his own reason and knowledge. Scientific rationality and value-neutral theories of knowledge lead to the eclipse of the public realm and the growth of social regimentation, mass manipulation, large-scale indoctrination and totalitarian domination. As a result, the homo politicus is reduced to the homo faber and the animal laboran. What is required is a radical shift in our intellectual perspective. Phenomenological and linguistic-analytical theories of action are inadequate to provide a sound basis for political science. Philosphia perennis alone can restore to politics its full glory and splendor.
