Caring Science as Sacred Science

by Jean Watson

Overview

"In this continuing work, I have allowed myself to incorporate personal material...for my own caring-healing processes ...So, in some ways, writing about caring and sacred science may not be tolerated in academic circles and scholarly work, but if there was ever a time to converge personal and professional authentic ethical efforts for living/being/doing/becoming scholarly, spirit-filled and scientific, it is NOW."

Jean Watson
