PROGRAMA DE DOUTORADO SANDUÍCHE NO EXTERIOR
Esta tese é uma reflexão sobre a possibilidade de um discurso sobre a religiosidade a partir da morte de Deus. Procurei escavar interpretações a respeito da sentença Deus está morto!, presente nos aforismos 125 e 343, de A gaia ciência, de Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) e confrontei-as com as ressonâncias desta proclamação na obra do filósofo francês Gabriel Marcel (1889-1973). Sobre os sentidos interpretativos da assertiva nietzschiana, apresento três aspectos fundamentais do Deus assassinado, nomeadamente: (a) o Deus metafísico; (b) o Deus moral; (c) o Deus cristão. Os textos de Marcel analisados na tese apontam a acolhida e a ressignificação do vaticínio nietzschiano. Nessa acolhida, as noções de drama, situação, universal concreto, transcendência e intersubjetividade mereceram especial cuidado investigativo. Esta última, calcada na relação eu-tu, constitui-se como verdadeira condição de possibilidade de abertura ao outro enquanto mistério. A partir deste confronto, procurei oferecer uma síntese própria que não é nem nietzschianismo, nem marcelianismo. Uma vez que não se segue como necessário de nossa situação histórica, marcada pelo deicídio, a ilegitimidade da religião, perseverei em repensá-la, ainda que sob aspectos e configurações não usuais. Disto seguiu-se uma reinterpretação de aspectos vários, situados entre metafísica e religiosidade, bem como entre moralidade e religiosidade, o que levou a reflexão sobre alguns desdobramentos éticos e sócio-políticos aí envolvidos.
The present work sets forth a discussion on the possibility of a religious speech following the death of God. It was in my interest to dig for interpretations concerning Friederich Nietzsche s (1844-1900) statement found in The Gay Science s 125th and 343th aforisms - God is dead! - and to compare them to its echoes in Gabriel Marcel s (1889-1973) works. Upon the interpretative meanings to Nietzsche s statement, I present three fundamental aspects to the murdered God, namely: (a) the metaphysical God, (b) the moral God and (c) the christian God. The Marcelian texts analyzed here point out both the reception and ressignifications of Nietzsche s prediction. In this reception, the notions of drama, situation, concrete universe, transcendence and intersubjectivity deserved a very careful analysis. The latter, based on the I-thou relationship, became a real condition for an opening towards the others as some sort of mystery. From this confrontation, I tried to offer my own synthesis that is neither akin to Nietzscheism or Marcelism. Since the ilegitimacy of religion is not a necessary fact on our days, branded by the experience of this deicide, I strived to rethink it, albeit by non usual aspects and configurations. From that followed a reinterpretation of several aspects, situated between metaphysics and religiosity, as well as between morality and religiosity, which lead to the reflexion on some of the ethical and social-political developments that lie within the discussion.

Full textAbstract:
Although the death of God theology attracted considerable attention during the 1960s, in recent decades it has fallen into neglect. Nonetheless, the issues raised by the death of God theology were important ones and it remains an interesting question whether the death of God theologians were able to make substantial contributions to them. This thesis re-examines the work of the death of God theologians. It argues that the popular view that the death of God theology represented a common tendency, or movement, towards atheism among certain prominent American Protestant theologians is mistaken. Through a series of detailed studies of Thomas J.J. Altizer (chapters 3 and 4), William Hamilton (Chapter 5), Paul van Buren (Chapter 6), and Harvey Cox (Chapter 7), the thesis shows not only that the significance of the death of God theologians has been widely misinterpreted, but that their work contains a number of features which have been under-emphasised or even overlooked. The aim of the thesis is to provide a more balanced contemporary reading of their work. The work of Altizer receives special attention and a case is made for the view that he should be read as a Protestant mystic of a peculiar sort.

Tremper, Kristin. ""When God Takes Away": Gendered Death Customs in Eighteenth-Century Virginia." VCU Scholars Compass, 2010. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/74.
Full textAbstract:
Rituals surrounding death were social in addition to being religious. Virginians conveyed the status of the deceased through funerals, burials, gravestones, commemoration, and mourning. But these customs greatly differed according to gender, both in what they consisted of and who was responsible for carrying them out. This thesis examines wills, diaries, correspondence, grave markers, prints, and newspapers of eighteenth-century Virginians, which demonstrate the differences in the death customs of men and women. Because of men’s involvement in public activities like business and politics, they gave greater forethought into how acts of remembrance would reflect their positions. Women’s duties were centered on the home and family. This resulted in less elaborate death customs as well as greater responsibility for appropriately attending to the remembrance of others. Despite the overwhelmingly private nature of women’s funerals and burials, gravestones, death notices, and the responsibilities of widowhood briefly brought women into the public realm.

Full textAbstract:
The poetry of Jim Morrison, as opposed to his lyric verse, has been the subject of little critical examination. The aim of this paper is to open up an understanding and interpretation of a mythographic landscape developed by Morrison in his response to existence in a demythologised western culture. Through the use of the Greek myth of Oedipus in its entirety, as opposed to the two most universally known events of the adult Oedipus' life, discussion here will attempt to demonstrate that Morrison developed a cohesive, holistic vision of the human condition of existence in the world, and presented a path of possibility for transcending its conflict. Indeed, it is proposed here that Morrison draws a clear path to and framework for living beyond the death of God. For structure, discussion will be framed around not only the Oedipal myth, but also the ?Three Metamorphoses? found in Nietzsche?s Thus Spoke Zarathustra, a transformational trinity which is easily aligned to the story of Oedipus. Critical theory will be drawn from mythology, principally through the work of Joseph Campbell, existentialism, from the work of Soren Kierkegaard and Jean-Paul Sartre, psychoanalysis, drawing mainly from Sigmund Freud, Julia Kristeva and Jacques Lacan and philosophy, based largely though not exclusively, in Friedrich Nietzsche' s The Will to Power.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate that through his book. Awlad haratina, Najib Mahfuz is criticizing the role of traditional religion in his society in order to find a new god and a new faith. He is particularly concerned with the silence of God in view of human suffering. Awlad haratina's theme of tyranny and oppression, while an elusive Jabalawi remains secluded, leads to an examination of theodicy. The question of God's justice is raised in order to discover who or what is responsible for evil and the suffering of humanity. Through the death of God, Mahfuz answers this question by proving Him irrelevant and eliminating Him altogether. Mahfuz then introduces what he sees as an alternative to traditional theism: scientific and intellectual exploration.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Sverige hör till ett av de länderna i världen där befolkningen lever längst, samtidigt går den medicinska utvecklingen ständigt framåt och skapar etiska dilemman gällande vården av den döende människan. Att förstå hur dessa patienter ska bemötas och vilka aspekter som är viktiga för en god död är en viktig del av den moderna sjukvården. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt var att undersöka vad en god död innebär ur ett patientperspektiv. Metod: Litteraturöversikt med deskriptiv design där resultatet baseras på 12 kvalitativa originalartiklar. Resultat: Resultatet visar på att vad en god död innebär är högst individuellt, några mönster framkom dock. Patienter värdesätter delaktighet i vården, de vill vara informerade om sin prognos och beslut som tas omkring den egna vården. Flertalet patienter vill fatta det slutgiltiga beslutet om sin behandling. Att behålla sin integritet och värdighet till slutet var andra delar i hur en god död upplevdes. Att styra över vart man dör är en annan viktig aspekt, att få dö en fridfull, smärtfri död i hemmet ansågs av många vara en god död. Assisterad dödshjälp ansågs i vissa fall bättre än en långsam process med mycket lidande under den sista tiden, men framförallt uttrycktes att döden skulle vara naturlig och inte utdragen. Slutsats: Döden och döendet är något som angår oss alla. Precis som övrig vård är det av stor vikt att även den palliativa vården individanpassas för att främja livskvalitet och bevara autonomi och värdighetBackground: Sweden has one of the highest life expectancies in the world, at the same time medical development is constantly ongoing. These two factors combined create ethical dilemmas regarding care for the dying patient. Understanding how patients in a palliative stage of their treatment view a good death and what aspects of care they value is a critical part of modern healthcare. Aim: The aim of this literature review is to get a better understanding of a good death from a patient perspective. Method: Literature review with a descriptive design where the result is based on 12 qualitative original articles. Result: The results show that a good death is a highly individual process. A few patterns emerged during this study. Patients value involvement in their own care; they want to be informed about their prognosis and their care. Many patients also want to make the final decision about their treatment. Retaining ones integrity and dignity to the end were also recognized as important factors of a good death. Having a say in where you die also important; to be able to have a peaceful and pain free death in ones home was considered part of a good death to many participants. Assisted euthanasia was, in some cases, considered better than a slow painful death. However, ensuring that the dying process was fast occurred via natural causes was more important. Conclusion: Death and the process of dying is something that affects us all. As in all care, it is important that palliative care is adapted to the individual to promote a better quality of life and to help the patient retain autonomy and dignity.

Full textAbstract:
Currently, the great monotheistic religions –Judaism, Christianity and Islam– may seem anachronic. Judging from their principles and rituals, they appear to belong to the Middle Ages. This seems to be confirmed by a brief consideration of the history of Western science, certainly marked by first philosophy, and by its division into its three periods: ancient, medieval and modern. The One, recognized by Plotinus as the necessary condition of all multiplicity, and which religions identify with God, may be considered the principle of medieval thought. Alongside Descartes, modernity replaced this principle, and by the end of this period Nietzsche claimed that God is dead! God remains dead! We have killed him!” But, is God dead? If the Modern Age, which started with Nietzsche, has killed God, does it mean that monotheistic religions have also been deprived of life and vitality? Or do they continue to live thanks to a free and self-determined assent to a living God that can be thought in relation to the world and to men and women?En la época moderna, las grandes religiones monoteístas –judaísmo, cristianismo e islam– pueden dar la impresión de ser anacrónicas, pues por sus principios y sus rituales parecen pertenecer al medioevo. Una breve consideración de la historia de la ciencia occidental, ciertamente marcada por la filosofía primera y efectuada la división en sus tres épocas –antigua, medieval y moderna–, parece confirmarlo. Como principio del pensamiento medieval puede considerarse al Uno, reconocido por Plotino como condición necesaria de toda multiplicidad y que en las religiones es identificado con Dios. Con Descartes, la época moderna sustituye este principio, y al final de esta época Nietzsche afirma que ¡Dios ha muerto! ¡Dios permanece muerto! ¡Nosotros lo hemos matado!” Pero, ¿ha muerto Dios? Si la época moderna, si la Modernidad iniciada con Nietzsche ha matado a Dios, ¿quiere decir esto que también se le ha quitado la vida, la vitalidad, a las religiones monoteístas? ¿O siguen viviendo gracias precisamente a un asentimiento libre y autodeterminado a un Dios vivo que puede pensarse en relación con el mundo y los hombres?

Simpson, William David. "When God Dies: Deconversion from Theism as Analogous to the Experience of Death." TopSCHOLAR®, 2013. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/1259.
Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, I explore the psychological and experiential aspects of the shift from a supernatural theistic worldview (specifically born-again Christianity) to aphilosophically naturalistic and atheistic worldview in the context of the religiouslandscape in the U.S. I posit that certain features of this transition, which is known as "deconversion,” can be thought of as potentially analogous, both psychologically and subjectively, to the experience of another's death as an objective environmental change. I provide anthropological and psychological evidence that believers often experience the God of born-again Christianity as an independently existing and active agent in the world. The similarities between human relationships and God relationships provide the foundation for the claim that loss of these relationships potentially constitute similar experiences, respectively. Both shifts (deconversion and death) share a number of similarities. For example, they both feature a reduction in the number of entities that are believed perceived as having minds (i.e., theory of mind determinations). Also, both shifts require a re-understanding of purpose and meaning in the world (i.e., teleological reasoning). I explore each of these shifts in detail. Finally, I show that the interpretation of the deconversion experience as analogous to the experience of death has implications for the public dialogue between Christians and atheists.

Full textAbstract:
There is a popular misconception in the world that Jehovah is too severe on occasion while Jesus Christ is always kind and merciful. The Latter-day Saint belief that Jehovah and Jesus are the same person presents a supposed conflict. There has not been much written on this subject by either non-Latter-day Saints or Latter-day Saints, thus, this thesis represents a unique contribution to a common perception prevalent in many Christian circles. The research of this thesis shows that the misconception is based on three problems: first, a misinterpretation of biblical stories in both the Old and New Testament; second, a lack of understanding biblical context and culture; and third, a lack of applying modern revelation to this subject. The research of this thesis focuses on these three areas in an effort to resolve this false perception. This thesis takes a deeper look into the acts of Jehovah and Jesus Christ as found in the Old and New Testaments respectively. Next, it looks as several doctrines related to this subject that have been revealed through latter-day prophets and incorporates them into the Old Testament. This analysis paints a broader picture of the Lord and illustrates that He was, indeed, merciful in the Old Testament but, at times, severe in the New Testament. Lastly, this thesis takes four of the most difficult Old Testament stories that seem to represent Jehovah as harsh, capricious, and unyielding, and puts them in their cultural setting. Though not every act can be completely explained, there is a high degree of similarity between Jehovah and Jesus. The study concludes, therefore, that much of the problem lies with perception and not with reality.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation focuses on the notion of the Kingdom of God in Jürgen Moltmann’s eschatology. The notion of the Kingdom of God is understood in many different ways, most of which bears very little relevance to secular life. The problem is therefore created of people either denying the existence of such a Kingdom (because of its deemed irrelevance) or emphasising the Kingdom to such an extent that the problems confronting life are ignored. It is the hypothesis that Moltmann puts forward an understanding of the Kingdom of God that is relevant to our daily existence. The notion of the Kingdom of God serves as an underlying theme in most, if not all of Moltmann’s works. Having suffered tremendously himself, Moltmann seeks to understand the Kingdom of God as not being purely metaphysical, but a way of living that can enhance our experience of the entire cycle of life. This is a literature study, using Moltmann’s book “The Coming of God: Christian eschatology” as the main source. Each chapter in this dissertation focuses on one section of this theological work, evaluates the progression of theological argument considering Moltmann’s other works and then seeks an existential understanding of the point using the South African context. Moltmann’s argument starts with Personal eschatology and proceeds to Historical eschatology, Cosmic eschatology and lastly, Divine eschatology. One therefore finds a natural growth in his argument, seeking the relationship between the immanence and transcendence of God. In order to confirm the hypothesis, this dissertation considers the various understandings of the concept of the Kingdom of God in light of the human views on life, death, history and creation. An exclusively transcendent God is proven to be unable to establish a reign in any of these human experiences, rendering the notion of the Kingdom of God irrelevant. A purely immanent God, on the other hand, also creates an irrelevant Kingdom, being proven to be limited by the confines of human thought and experience. The search in this dissertation is for an understanding of God and of God’s Kingdom that will neither deny the divinity of God nor will see the context of life as too finite to be included in the Kingdom of God. It is the argument that Moltmann’s notion of the Kingdom of God provides exactly that. This view is especially relevant to the South African context, as a growing secularised community progressively questions the relevance of the notion of the Kingdom of God. It is especially questioned as the H.I.V./A.I.D.S. pandemic is causing widespread suffering and death in this country. Moltmann’s eschatology is specifically used as the main doctrine in this argument as he views all theology to be based on the eschatological journey of God and creation. The questions that people ask, namely “Where is life going?” and “What do we have to hope for?” are in essence eschatological questions. It is my belief that this work will provide a theological understanding of the Kingdom of God that is relevant and accessible to especially the South African context.

Full textAbstract:
Livskvalitet är ett etablerat begrepp och är något som endast den enskilde personen kan beskriva, men vad är dödskvalitet? Vetskap om vad ett gott liv består av och innehåller förvärvas genom erfarenhet under hela livet medan döden endast upplevs en gång, fler tillfällen och försök ges inte och ingen tidigare erfarenhet finns att relatera till. Människan lever allt längre, i Sverige förväntas tillväxten i åldersgrupperna mellan 65 - 80 år stå inför en markant ökning under kommande år. Det är vanligt att den äldre personen slutar sina dagar på vård- och omsorgsboenden när kroppen blir skör på grund av en eller fler kroniska sjukdomar och omvårdnadsbehoven inte längre kan tillgodoses i det egna hemmet. Palliativ omvårdnad har målet att ge personen ett väl symtomlindrat liv och en väl symtomlindrad död vid obotlig livshotande sjukdom och omfattar personens fysiska, psykiska, sociala och existentiella behov. Palliativ omvårdnad är ett viktigt område för den allt äldre befolkningen i livets slut på vård- och omsorgsboenden och ska ges under samma förutsättningar och på lika villkor oavsett ålder. Vad en god död består av och rymmer beskrivs ur en mängd olika synvinklar och aspekter inom och utom sjuksköterskans vårdkontext. Konsensus över beskrivningen av en god död råder inte och kommer sannolikt heller aldrig att råda. Syftet med studien var att belysa hur sköterskor på vård- och omsorgsboenden beskrev en god död i mötet och omvårdnaden av äldre personer. Metod och datainsamling: Sex sjuksköterskor på vård- och omsorgsboenden i tre kommuner i Mellansverige intervjuades semistrukturerat vid olika tidpunkter under februari månad 2016. Intervjuerna analyserades genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys på manifest nivå med deskriptiv design. Resultat: I sjuksköterskornas beskrivningar av en god död framkom kategorierna: sjuksköterskans roll, personcentrerad omvårdnad, närstående och transition. De mest centrala symtomen att lindra var smärta och oro för att kunna ge den äldre personen en god död. Resultatet visade också att äldre personer som över tid nått olika faser av acceptans, hunnit göra bokslut och kände sig klara med livet ofta gick en lugn död till mötes. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskornas beskrivningar av en god död ger förutsättningar att ge en god sådan på vård- och omsorgsboenden med betoning på att ha hela personens skiftande omvårdnadsbehov i fokus. När livet förändras genom ålderdom, sjukdom och vid insikt om den nära förestående döden genomgår personen transitioner mellan olika faser i livet. Att få hjälp vid transitoner innebär att personen kan nå acceptans för att kunna avsluta livet med känslan av att allt är klart. En av sjuksköterskans uppgifter är att hjälpa den äldre personen att våga prata om och beskriva vad som är viktigt för honom eller henne inför livets slut för komma till ro och genom detta ges möjlighet att dö en god död

Full textAbstract:
Den palliativa vårdens mål är att uppnå en god och fridfull död. En god död har dock visat sig vara en individuell och varierande upplevelse varför patienten själv måste få möjlighet att uttala sig om sin förestående död. Forskning har framhållit att det finns olika uppfattningar om vad en god död innebär, utifrån patientens, närståendes och vårdpersonalens perspektiv. Syftet med litteraturstudien var därför att belysa kunskap om uppfattningar om en god död, för att kunna förbättra omvårdnaden i en palliativ kontext. Föreliggande litteraturstudie baseras på 15 vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultatet visade att det finns gemensamma uppfattningar om en god död, men även olikheter som är betydelsefulla ur ett omvårdnadsperspektiv. En god död kan sammanfattas som symptomkontroll, självbestämmande, sociala relationer, självbild, syntes och samtycke. Främst var det samtal kring den existentiella dimensionen som saknades av patienterna, och de närstående önskade mer information om döendeprocessen för att kunna förbereda sig inför sin närståendes död. Palliativ vårdfilosofi syftar till att ge patienterna en helhetsvård där befrämjande av livskvalitet står i fokus, trots att döden är nära förestående. Helhetsvård var också den inriktning som framkom som den viktigaste uppfattningen om en god död ur vårdpersonalens synvinkel. En god död inom en palliativ kontext är ett forskningsområde som behöver undersökas mer, framförallt gällande de olika uppfattningar som framkommit om en god död ur olika perspektiv.
The palliative care aims to achieve a good and peaceful death. A good death has proven to be an unique and varied experience why the patient should have an opportunity to comment on his impending death. Research has pointed out that there are different perceptions of what a good death means, from the patients’, relatives’ and nursing staff perspectives. The purpose of this study was therefore to elucidate knowledge about perceptions of a good death, in order to improve nursing care in a palliative context. This literature review is based on 15 scientific articles. The results showed that there are common perceptions of a good death, but also differences that are important from a nursing perspective. A good death can be summarized as symptom control, autonomy, social relationships, self image, synthesis and consent. Foremost it was conversation about the existential dimension, which was missing from the patients’ perspective. From the relatives’ perspective it was more desirable with information about the dying process in order to prepare for their relatives’ death. Palliative care philosophy aims to give the patients a holistic approach, where the promotion of quality of life is the focus, despite the fact that death is imminent. Holistic care was also the approach which emerged as the main idea of a good death from the nursing staff perspective. A good death in a palliative context is a research area that needs to be investigated further, especially concerning to the different views obtained about a good death from different perspectives.

Full textAbstract:
Döden anses vara en stressfaktor för hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal och tidigare forskning visar att detta även gäller vårdare vid hospice. Ett antal vanliga copingstrategier fungerar inte i hospicemiljön på grund av att döden är ett oundvikligt inslag där. En studie framhåller dock den låga utbrändhetsgraden bland vårdgivare på hospice och föreslår bland annat att det holistiska perspektivet på omvårdnad kan vara sammankopplat med detta till synes ambivalenta förhållande. Kan hospicefilosofin inverka på synen på döden och döendet bland hospicepersonal? En intervjustudie genomfördes med tre vårdare yrkesverksamma vid ett hospice i Sverige. Det manifesta innehållet som relaterade till syftet med studien identifierades och analyserades med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet visar att hospicevårdare påverkas av hospicefilosofin inom områden som synen på vård i livets slutskede, döendet och det professionella samarbetet. Deltagarna uttryckte att de trivs med sitt arbetssätt och uttryckte en mängd olika strategier för att hantera svårigheter i sitt arbete. Arbete som bygger på en filosofi som genomsyrar vården verkar också sammansvetsa personalgruppen. Ytterligare forskning på detta område kan vara av intresse.Death is considered a stressor to all health care personnel and previous research shows that this applies to hospice caregivers as well. In addition, a number of common coping strategies are impossible to use due to the specific environment. One study however points out low burn-out rating among the hospice caregivers and suggests the holistic nursing perspective, among others, as one of the possible reasons for this seemingly ambivalent finding. Can the hospice philosophy influence the view on death among hospice caregivers? An interview based study was conducted among caregivers working in a hospice in Sweden, where three participants took part. The manifest content relating to the purpose of the study was identified and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The result shows that hospice caregivers indeed are influenced by the hospice philosophy in areas such as the view on end-of-life care, dying and professional cooperation. The participants displayed affection for their work style and a variety of ways in which to cope with the difficulty of their work. Work based on a philosophy that permeates the care of the patients seems to increase the appreciation of each other as co-workers. Further research in this area can be of interest.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Trycksår är en lokal skada av huden. Skadan ligger ovanför ett benutskott och orsakas av tryck eller en kombination av tryck skjuvning eller friktion. Smärta från trycksåret är ett vanligt förekommande problem som påverkar livskvaliteten negativt. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka förekomsten av trycksår i livets slutskede samt att se om personer med smärta och trycksår är smärtskattade med VAS/NRS. Syftet var även att se om det fanns något samband mellan trycksår och smärta. Metod: Metoden som använts var en retrospektiv deskriptiv undersökning med kvantitativ ansats. Insamling av data skedde via frågor tagna ur dödsfallsenkäten. Uppgifterna togs ur Svenska palliativregistret samt via journalgranskning. Resultat: Förekomsten av trycksår under 2008-2010 var mellan 29 - 33 %. Under perioden dog 95 (30 %) personer med trycksår, 83 % av dessa trycksår var kategori 1 eller 2 sår. Av de som avled med trycksår upplevde 78 % smärta sista veckan i livet, 59 % hade smärtskattats med VAS/NRS där det visade sig att 69 % skattade över 3 på VAS/NRS skalan. Medianen på VAS/NRS var 6. Inget signifikant samband mellan trycksår och smärta påvisades. Slutsats: Personal som vårdar personer i livets slutskede bör ha en god kunskap om hur, varför och när trycksår uppkommer mot slutet av livet och även ha ökad kunskap om kroppens smärtmekanismer samt vilken symtomlindring som fungerar. Nyckelord: god död, palliativvård, cancer, Svenska palliativregistret.Background: Pressure ulcers are a local damage of the skin. The damage is above a bony prominence caused by pressure or a combination of pressure shear and friction. Pain from the pressure ulcer is a common problem that affects quality of life negatively. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of pressure ulcers in palliative care and to see if people with pain and pressure ulcers are pain assessed by VAS/NRS. The aim was also to see if there was any correlation between pressure ulcers and pain. Method: The method used was a retrospective descriptive study with quantitative approach. Data collection was done through questions taken from the Swedish death inquiry. The data were taken from the Swedish palliative register and through journal review. Results: The incidence of pressure ulcers during 2008-2010 was between 29 – 33 %. During the period died 95 (30%) with pressure ulcers, 83% of these pressure ulcers were category 1 or 2 wounds. Of those who died with pressure ulcers 78 % experienced pain last week of life, 59 % had pain assessed by VAS/NRS that showed that 69% estimated above 3 on the VAS/NRS scale. The median on VAS/NRS was 6. No significant correlation between pressure ulcers and pain were found. Conclusion: Staff who care for people in end of life care should have a good knowledge of how, why and when pressure ulcers occur towards the end of life, they should also have greater knowledge of the body's pain mechanisms and pain relief that works. Keywords: Good death, palliative care, cancer, Swedish palliative register.

Full textAbstract:
John D. Caputo and Gianni Vattimo are two of the main thinkers in continental philosophy’s return to religion. This return is accommodated by the basic theoretical framework of irony, which is predominantly an unspoken determinant upon textual meaning. In this continental sense, irony affirms and negates the subject matter that it speaks about. Adopting this framework, Caputo and Vattimo suggest that a new Christian-irony is desirable to avert a collapse back into the violence that results from metaphysics, either modern or classical, by remaining in deconstruction’s loosely held wavering between theism and atheism. The question that remains to be proven, however, is whether their ironic method of writing is not inadvertently continuing the negative effect of the Nietzschean-Heideggerian paradigm by persisting with the literary style of writing that is intrinsic to it, even while openly refuting it by their affirmative Judeo-Christian surface content.

Full textAbstract:
Best known if not equally understood for having a madman proclaim the demise of God, Friedrich Nietzsche’s thought has served as a fecund resource for disparate groups advancing diverse agendas. This paper critically examines the phenomenon of invoking Nietzsche as the final word. This paper argues that, far from being a conversation-stopper, Nietzsche can be understood as enhancing dialogue, across disciplines and between groups such as philosophers and theologians more prone to militant rhetoric than fruitful dialogue. In order to validate this claim it will be necessary to examine in detail the two aspects of Nietzsche’s thought most often invoked as conversation stoppers: the madman’s proclamation of the death of God; and Nietzsche’s devastating critique of Christian morality. Ultimately, this thesis will conclude that when properly understood Nietzsche serves as a unique interpreter locating himself between modernity and postmodernity, as well as between philosophy and religious thought.

Full textAbstract:
Sammanfattning Syftet med studien är att beskriva sjuksköterskans uppfattning om vad som är en god död för patienter inom palliativ vård. Metoden är en beskrivande litteraturstudie med vetenskapliga artiklar som grund. Litteraturstudiens huvudresultat redovisas i två underrubriker; ”Sjuksköterskans uppfattningar om en god död inom palliativ vård” och ”Sjuksköterskans sätt att hantera olika situationer vid vård av patienter i livets slutskede”. Det är viktigt att att kommunikationen mellan patient och sjuksköterska fungerar på ett lämpligt sätt och att tid avsätts för samtal. Motivation, erfarenhet, struktur, diskussion och reflektion behövs för att ge god och trygg vård som leder till en värdig död. Att ge stöd till patienter och närstående är en trygghet för sjuksköterskan. Det är viktigt att utgå från varje enskild patients uppfattning om vad som är en god död och att varje patients upplevelse av döden är personlig. Det som kan bidra till en god död är att kommunikationen mellan patient och sjuksköterska fungerar på ett tillfredställande sätt. Litteraturstudien kan bidra till att ge sjuksköterskor ytterligare lärdom och insikt om vad en god död innebär samt också vara berikande och ge ett nytt perspektiv i omvårdnadsarbetet med palliativa patienter och hur olika situationer kan hanteras och därmed förbättra sjuksköterskornas arbetsmiljö. Nyckelord: Delaktighet, god död, kommunikation, reflektion, utbildning.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to study the development of the theme of contentment in the book of Ecclesiastes and the relationship of this theme to the themes of death and the role of God. Qoheleth’s autobiography (Eccl 1:12–2:26) serves as a lens to read and interpret his teaching on contentment throughout the book of Ecclesiastes. The theme of death informs and permeates Qoheleth’s teaching and sets the stage for his exhortations of contentment. The brevity of human life and death as the natural end of life create an urgency to live every moment with vigor and zeal, especially when the possibility of the afterlife is uncertain. According to Qoheleth, the presence and active involvement of God in the existence of humanity brings meaning and fulfillment to life. Even though human beings cannot comprehend the activities of the inscrutable God, they should find contentment and satisfaction in the allotment that God bestows on them as his gift. Qoheleth’s autobiography plays a significant role in his teaching. Qoheleth utilizes the genre of royal autobiography to convey his message throughout the book of Ecclesiastes and to connect his personal experiences and observations with his teaching on contentment in the face of death. Qoheleth teaches that contentment is an attitude that enables people to embrace life as a gift from God which may include both good and bad circumstances. Contentment empowers people to be fully engaged in every living moment in the face of death and the inscrutability of God. Life is full of contradictions and incongruities. This is why it is essential, Qoheleth admonishes, to develop an attitude of contentment which enables a person to find satisfaction in work and accept the allotment given by God. He promotes the need to give up attempts to comprehend God and his actions, and advocates the need to lead a life of generosity and hospitality, table fellowship and meaningful labour, the good life which pleases God.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Den palliativa vården för hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal innebär att försöka uppnå den döende personens maximala livskvalitet och att lindra lidandet. Vården lutar sig mot det nationella vårdprogrammet för palliativ vård samt International Council of Nurses, ICN. Sjuksköterskans roll och uppgifter inom vården beskrivs där även de fyra hörnstenarna belyses. Syfte: Att belysa sjuksköterskornas upplevda svårigheter vid vård av patienter med palliativ diagnos. Metod: Examensarbetet är en litteraturöversikt baserad på Fribergs analysmetod. Denna litteraturöversikt inkluderar tio vetenskapliga artiklar som har sökts i databaserna CINAHL Complete och PubMed. Som en teoretisk utgångspunkt har Patricia Benners teori från novis till expert valts som en diskussion i resultatdiskussionen. Resultat: Sjuksköterskornas upplevda svårigheter av att vårda patienter med en palliativ diagnos resulterade i fyra huvudteman i litteraturöversikten; kommunikation, närstående och relation, vårdteamet samt kunskap och erfarenheter. Diskussion: Resultatet i litteraturöversikten har diskuterats utifrån Benners teori. Sjuksköterskornas upplevda svårigheter belystes genom fyra teman – kunskap och erfarenhet, närståendestöd, kommunikation mellan kollegor och gentemot patienten samt kultur som upplevd svårighet.Background: Palliative care for health professional means trying to achieve the maximum dying person's quality of life and ease suffering. The palliative care for health professionals means to try to achieve the dying person's maximum quality of life and alleviate suffering. The care inclined towards the Swedish national health care program for palliative care and the International Council of Nurses, ICN. The nurse's role and tasks in health care are described where even the four cornerstones elucidated. Aim: To elucidate the nurses perceived difficulties in nursing patients with palliative diagnosis. Method: The thesis is a literature review based on Friberg's analysis. This literature review includes ten scientific articles that have been searched in the databases CINAHL Complete and PubMed. As a theoretical base, Patricia Benner's theory from novice to expert was selected as a discussion of the results discussion. Results: The nurses perceived difficulties of caring for patients with a palliative diagnosis resulted in four main themes in the literature; communication, family and relationship, the health care team as well as knowledge and experience. Discussion: The results of the literature review are discussed based on Benner's theory. The nurses' perceived difficulties irradiated by four themes – knowledge and experience, family support, communication between colleagues and towards the patient as well the culture as perceived difficulties.

Full textAbstract:
Le 19ème siècle connaît un renouveau des façons de penser proches du matérialisme. Celles-ci deviennent triomphantes avec Marx, Nietzsche .... Il s'agit d'analyser les causes de ce renouveau et ses conséquences sur les idéologies du 20ème siècle. Ces idéologies misent en œuvre sont prises dans une dualité matérialiste/idéaliste au sein de leurs différentes composantes. A la sortie du second conflit mondial et surtout après la chute des pays socialistes de l'Europe de l'est, cette dualité se recompose en s'adaptant à un champ politique unique et hégémonique. Le capitalisme entretient un rapport très paradoxal au matérialisme dans le même temps il l'appelle de ses vœux car il lui permet de détruire un obstacle : le christianisme social, mais il le dénature également en lui donnant une forme vulgaire d'un matérialisme de possession. Il ne peut pas lui redonner ses lettres de noblesse puisqu'il générerait un retour du politique (le marxisme,...). Or il se présente comme post politique et non idéologique. Dans le discours réemployant la rhétorique marxiste de fin de l'histoire prononcé par Francis Fukuyama, le capitalisme se présente de fait comme un Léviathan face à ce qui a réduit l'homme à l'état de nature : les idéologies « totalitaires ». Il permet également une remontée forte de l'idéalisme dans une dissonance perpétuelle entre morale et pratique. Le matérialisme étant vulgarisé et réduit, il ne porte plus en lui d'éthique et il devient limité à une pulsion d'achat. Le capitalisme, dans son appareil idéologique et sa culture de masse, apparaît comme double perpétuel au réelA journey inside history, ideology and psychology with a key, the antagonism between materialism and idealism. A new point of view arise and create a new kind of analysis on our modern times. From Martin Luther to today, we explore differents systems : Nazism, Socialism and Capitalism. We will find, in each system and so in human mind, this heuristic antagonism

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an attempt to explicate the concept of the death of God as it arises within Thomas Altizer's theological writings and the fiction of A.S. Byatt, paying special attention to the idea of the negation of eternal return. The negation of eternal return not only informs Altizer's theology, but also provides a metaphor with which to critique not only the traditional theological idea of God, but also the self-sufficiency of the theological tradition. As Altizer's theology is informed by a literary tradition outside the circle of traditional theological reflection, so this thesis suggests that theology comes about necessarily through self-emptying fictions, and not through the closedness of scholasticism; therefore the fiction of Byatt becomes a point of entry into theological reflection. The negation of eternal return also provides a useful metaphor for the metaphysics of the Proper, and economies of the Same. An intertextual consideration of Altizer's influences and theological development alongside the works of Byatt (specifically Possession, The Virgin in the Garden and Still Life), the thesis is informed also by thinkers such as Mark C. Taylor, Jacques Derrida, and Julia Kristeva, disciplines such as modern physics and nineteenth century biology, and literary works such as "The Dream of the Rood" and Iris Murdoch's The Time of the Angels.

CAMUS: A REBEL AT THE JUNCTION OF EXISTENTIALISM AND SKEPTICISM

The purpose of this thesis is to examine Albert Camus&rsquos stance in existentialism and scepticism, to discuss his philosophy by referring to his life, which, in many respects, forms a foundation for his philosophy and to exhibit that he maintains his contemporariness in the 21st century. As existentialism is treated differently by different philosophers, the main concern of the thesis is to discuss how Camus handles it. This is done by focusing on his approach to issues appearing commonly in existentialism, such as the absurd, suicide, God, rebellion, freedom, and alienation and by scrutinising the link between existentialism and skepticism. According to Camus, the absurd is the paradoxical condition caused by a contradiction or a confrontation of two unequal concepts or situations. The merit, for Camus, is to survive despite the disillusionment the absurd brings about. Consequently, he is against suicide because he regards it as surrender to the absurd. Camus claims that it is man himself who can make his own life meaningful. Thus, man may question the existence of God and revolt metaphysically against the absurdity and injustice in the world. The metaphysical rebel can then establish the unity and order that he believes is lacking in the world. Camus attaches great importance to rebellion because it brings man freedom. And freedom is indispensable because being deprived of freedom means submission to an authority and, therefore, loss of human dignity. Alienation is a major issue for Camus, too, as it is a result of man&rsquo
s &lsquo
thrownness&rsquo
on to the world and displays the human situation. The thesis analyses the above items in detail with reference to all Camus&rsquo
s major works.

Full textAbstract:
Världens åldrande befolkning innebär att fler människor i framtiden kommer befinna sig på den långsamma vägen mot döden. Genom att lindra lidande och främja livskvalitet kan palli-ativ vård optimera möjligheten för en god död. Sjuksköterskan tillhör den största yrkesgrup-pen inom palliativ vård och har en nyckelposition att påverka hur god döden blir. Palliativ vård ges utifrån olika former, allmän- och specialiserad palliativ vård. Den vård som ges ska oavsett specialisering utgå ifrån samma mål och kvaliteten på vården ska inte spegla orga-nisatoriska skillnader. Sjuksköterskor som idag arbetar inom palliativ vård har olika utbild-ningar, erfarenheter och vårdar personer som befinner sig i livets slutskede i olika utsträck-ning vilket kan påverka den vård som ges. Det är därför av vikt att beskriva hur sjuksköters-kor inom allmän- och specialiserad palliativ vård uppfattar begreppet "en god död". Syftet med studien var att utifrån olika vårdformer, inom vilket det bedrivs en allmän respek-tive specialiserad palliativ vård i livets slutskede, beskriva likheter och skillnader i sjukskö-terskors uppfattning av begreppet "en god död". Studien genomfördes med en kvalitativ in-duktiv ansats och är deskriptiv i sin utformning. Semistrukturerade individuella intervjuer utfördes med 12 sjuksköterskor, åtta från verksamheter där det bedrivs allmän palliativ vård och fyra från verksamheter där det bedrivs specialiserad palliativ vård. Intervjuerna analy-serades genom Graneheim och Lundmans metod för kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade att det fanns både likheter och skillnader i sjuksköterskors uppfattning av begreppet "en god död". Likheterna synliggjordes genom gemensamma kategorier. Dessa var: En död utan lidande, En död som är förenlig med den döende personens egna önskemål inför döden, En död som är förväntad och införstådd av den döende personen och alla runtomkring, Att bli bemött och behandlad som en människa inför döden, Att få möjlighet till lugn och av-skildhet i en familjär miljö samt Att få stöd från och kunna förlita sig på sjukvårdspersonalen. Likheterna synliggjordes också i underkategorier, där fler är gemensamma för sjuksköterskor inom både allmän- och specialiserad palliativ vård. Skillnader i hur "en god död" uppfattas illustreras genom skilda underkategorier men också genom olikheter inom underkategorier. Studien visade att en god död i stora drag uppfattas lika bland sjuksköterskor inom allmän- och specialiserad palliativ vård och att skillnaderna ligger i de mer specifika delarna av en god död samt i de förutsättningar som finns inom respektive vårdform. Sjuksköterskors förutsätt-ningar att arbeta för en god död påverkas därmed av organisatoriska skillnader och vården riskerar att bli ojämlik. Studien tillför trots detta hopp inför framtidens palliativa vård ef-tersom ett palliativt förhållningssätt avspeglas inom både allmän- och specialiserad palliativ vård. För att göra möjligheten till "en god död" mer jämlik i framtiden bör fokus ligga på att förbättra förutsättningarna inom verksamheter där det bedrivs allmän palliativ vård.

In the presented dissertation is approached the Niilism theme on Nietzsche’s thought, including its overcoming matter. Firstly, to deal how to know what could be the historical influences that could Nietzsche had suffered in order to understand his own speech about the theme. To deal then the main concepts related to the Niilism theme, which highlights “The Death of God” and its relation to modernity, the meaning of the event in direction to the Niilism overcoming. Facing the polemic related to the fact of considering or not the Nietzscheism overcoming of Niilism opted to investigate what Nietzsche described as world’s adjustment attempts without need of god. These attempts would be always useless and sabotaged, including to all modernity, period that would however, the moment of the most effective rupture relating to old ideals. To give an account the investigation of possibilities and effectuation of superman, the one who would be the bearer of the new way of living and thinking.
A presente dissertação pretende abordar o tema do niilismo no pensamento de Nietzsche e mais precisamente a questão da superação frente ao problema. O nosso intuito também foi o de saber se o próprio filósofo conseguiu tal proeza. Primeiramente nos interessamos em saber quais teriam sido as influências históricas que o filósofo teria sofrido para então a partir delas empreender o seu próprio discurso. Posteriormente tratamos dos conceitos importantes referentes ao tema, como por exemplo, a morte de Deus. A morte de Deus é considerada pelo filósofo, na modernidade, o acontecimento primeiro em direção a superação,mas entende que tal acontecimento embora seja condição necessária, não é condição suficiente. Por não ser condição suficiente investigamos também o que ele caracterizou como sendo tentativas de adaptação ao mundo sem Deus. Essas tentativas teriam sido sempre fracassadas e sabotadas, inclusive por toda a modernidade, período que deveria no entanto, ser o momento de uma ruptura mais efetiva em relação aos antigos ideais. Por fim, investigamos a questão da superação ou não do próprio filósofo assim como da efetivação do Super-homem, aquele que seria o porta bandeira de uma nova forma de viver e de pensar.

Previous issue date: 2011-12-13The painful and violent death suffered by Jesus was consequence of his prophetic acts, his religious doctrines opposed to the Temple role and to Moses‟ Law and the announcement of the Kingdom. The significance of Jesus of Nazareth‟s death can not be apart from his existence and his mission as Son of God. Jesus of Nazareth surrenders to the Father on behalf of his brothers/sisters and for the reason that will provide them with abundant life. The expression died for us‟ demonstrates that the meaning of Jesus‟ death is understood as a solidary act provided to humanity. This continuous act of Jesus has dictated all his mission, realized in the name of God Father and his Spirit, revealed in his message. His death must be understood as an act of fraternal solidarity, while at the same time, of liberation, for such was a symmetric event with his own life. Jesus has taken to the cross the weight of our sins. In this way of revelation from God, we see his suffering and death not as a failure of a human project, on the contrary, as the Son of God‟s passion which brings salvation. The meaning of Jesus‟s death does not reveal us a cruel God, demanding from his Son an endless sacrifice in order to redeem humanity from its sins and bring it to a free, fulfilling life and in that sense saved. The reflection about the meaning of the death of Jesus of Nazareth implies the perception of the lack of goodness in reality and the desire to correct the human injustices which bring death and lead to the cross. Therefore, Jesus‟ death gives us the possibility to assume our human condition with a glimmer of hope. We have in his death, which wasn‟t for himself, but for us, the strength to preserve the meaning of our existence and to support our encouragement for the reality of the Kingdom, inaugurated by us and definitely sealed with the death on the cross for us and for our salvation
A morte dolorosa e violenta que Jesus sofreu foi consequência de sua atuação profética, sua concepção religiosa oposta ao papel do Templo e à Lei de Moisés e seu anúncio do Reino. O sentido da morte de Jesus de Nazaré não pode ser desligado de sua existência e de sua missão enquanto Filho de Deus. Jesus de Nazaré se entrega ao Pai por seus irmãos e por uma causa que lhes proporcionará vida abundante. A expressão morreu por nós‟ explicita que o sentido da morte de Jesus é compreendido como ato solidário prestado à humanidade. Esse ato contínuo de Jesus determinou toda a sua missão realizada em nome de Deus-Pai e do seu Espírito, revelado em sua mensagem. Sua morte deve ser entendida como ato de solidariedade filial e, ao mesmo tempo, de libertação na medida em que foi acontecimento simétrico com a sua vida. Jesus levou para a cruz o peso dos nossos pecados. Nessa forma de revelação de Deus, compreendemos seu sofrimento e morte não como fracasso de um projeto humano, mas, ao contrário, como paixão do Filho de Deus que gera salvação. O sentido da morte de Jesus não nos revela um Deus cruel que exige algo de infinito ao seu Filho para redimir a humanidade do seu pecado e conduzi-la para uma vida em liberdade, vida plena e, nesse sentido, salva. A reflexão sobre o sentido da morte de Jesus de Nazaré suscita a percepção da ausência do bem na realidade e o desejo de corrigir as injustiças humanas que geram a morte e levam à cruz. Assim, a morte de Jesus nos dá a possibilidade de assumir a nossa condição humana com um fio de esperança. Temos na morte de Jesus, que não foi por si, mas por nós, a força que conserva o sentido de nossa existência e ampara a capacidade de ânimo pela realidade do Reino, inaugurado por nós e selado definitivamente na morte de cruz por nós e para nossa salvação

Este trabalho apresenta a gênese do conceito de Deus no homem, segundo a interpretação que fazemos da filosofia de Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche. Através do título “O nascimento de Deus segundo Nietzsche”, procuramos mostrar como pôde surgir, conforme o filósofo, a crença no conceito de Deus, interpretando-a como resultado de uma determinada hierarquia de forças e de vontade de poder, as quais caracterizam a espécie humana. Ao abordar o tema da gênese da ideia moral de Deus, podemos perceber que Nietzsche não conta a história do surgimento de uma entidade metafísica. O que ele investiga em obras como a “Genealogia da moral” é, sobretudo, como o conceito e o sentimento de Deus no homem nasceu e se desenvolveu no curso do tempo, levando sempre em consideração o tipo de forças e de vontade de poder que estão por trás desse desenvolvimento. Para empreender essa proposta, utilizamos textos do próprio Nietzsche, com ênfase nas obras e escritos das chamadas segunda e terceira fases de seu pensamento, mais precisamente, das obras e escritos a partir de “Humano, demasiado humano”, de 1878. Incluem-se, portanto, os textos e escritos que vão de 1878 até 1889, tanto os que constam nas obras publicadas durante a vida de Nietzsche, quanto nas publicadas após a sua morte, entre elas, a edição da obra “A vontade de poder”, de 1906, publicada por Kröner, com 1067 aforismos. Também fizemos uso de alguns comentadores quando suas posições se mostraram relevantes para a compreensão desses escritos.
This paper presents the genesis of the concept of God in man, according to the interpretation we make of the philosophy of Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche. Through the title "The birth of God according to Nietzsche”, we show how it might arise, according to the philosopher, the belief in the concept of God, interpreting it as a result of a certain hierarchy of forces and will to power to characterize the human species. Addressing the issue of the genesis of the moral idea of God, we realize that Nietzsche does not tell the story of the emergence of a metaphysical entity. What he investigates in works such as "Genealogy of Morals" is, above all, as the concept and feeling of God in man was born and developed in the course of time, always taking into consideration the type of forces and will to power behind this development. To undertake this proposal, we use Nietzsche's own texts, with emphasis on the works and writings of so-called second and third phases of his thought, more accurately, works and writings from "Human, All Too Human," 1878. Included are therefore texts and writings ranging from 1878 to 1889, both appearing in works published during the life of Nietzsche, as in published after his death, among them the issue of "The will to power, "1906, published by Kröner, 1067 with aphorisms. We also made use of some commentators when their positions were relevant to the understanding of these writings.

O presente trabalho tem como escopo apresentar uma leitura do anúncio nietzschiano da morte de Deus a partir da perspectiva do fim da metafísica, evidenciando como tal contribui para ampliar as possibilidades de se conceber religião na pós-modernidade. Dentro deste espaço aberto pela filosofia de Nietzsche do Deus morto, Vattimo interpreta o retorno da religião na contemporaneidade e pensa um conceito normativo de cristianismo plausível no contexto pós-moderno.
The aim of this essay is to present a viewpoint of Nietzsche’s account of the death of God from the end of metaphysics perspective, showing your contribution to expand the possibilities of religion in the post-modern age. From this philosophical possibility, Vattimo interprets the return of religion in contemporaneity and think about a normative concept of christianity in the post-modern context.
