Lifelong Learning: A Human Becoming Perspective

Augustana College, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, bunkers{at}inst.augie.edu

Michael Gelb, in a book titled How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci, identifies Leonardo Da Vinci as one of the most fascinating geniuses of all time. From an extensive study of Leonardo Da Vinci’s life and works, Gelb has discerned seven Da Vincian principles depicting Leonardo’s disciplined approach to seeking knowledge and inventing anew. In this column, Parse’s theory of human becoming is linked with these seven Da Vincian principles providing a nursing theory perspective on lifelong learning. Both the human becoming theory and the Da Vincian principles focus on human possibility and the living of hopes and dreams. Linking the Da Vincian principles with human becoming provides new insights for engaging in a professional and personal postmodern Renaissance.

Key Words: Da Vinci • human becoming • lifelong learning
