Mis-Takes Across Paradigms

F. Beryl Pilkington, RN; PhD

School of Nursing, York University

Gail J. Mitchell, RN; PhD

University of Toronto

In this column, the authors reflect on mis-takes across paradigms, misconceived or misunderstood meanings given and taken among scholars with differing worldviews. Mis-takes of paradigmatic perspectives, human science, distinctiveness, ways of knowing, and rationality are explored. It is proposed that mis-taken views of opposing perspectives are often deliberately advanced by scholars as ways to discredit the opposition, not to further dialogue. The authors call for an appreciation of difference in the context of the intellectual sparring and debating with regard to fundamental issues that characterize evolving disciplines.

Key Words: debate • distinctive knowledge • human science • mis-takes • paradigms
