Is death the enemy? : reconsidering the significance of metaphor in end of life

Article indépendant

MILTON, Constance L.

Metaphors are important ways to language meaning and illustrate imaginative thinking for the healthcare disciplines. Normative ethics focus on metaphors of war, torture, and art that guide thinking in end-of-life decision-making. This article begins a discussion of novel, imaginative thinking for consideration of metaphors such as holding on-letting go as paradoxical ways of being and quality during end of life. The discussion will be viewed through a case study utilizing the philosophical, theoretical lens of humanbecoming.
