TL;DR

A reorientation is going on in caring science, characterized by more humanistically oriented thinking, which gives new significance to caring science and its progress depends on whether it will succeed in laying bare the core of caring and developing its fundamental concepts and main theory.

Abstract

A reorientation is going on in caring science. It could be called a new key characterized by more humanistically oriented thinking, which gives new significance to caring science. The sounding board of the new key is to be found in its ontological core. Its progress depends on whether we will succeed in laying bare the core of caring and developing its fundamental concepts and main theory. We need to regain the hermeneutical approach to penetrate into the core. Caring today needs this knowledge to help the patient in an increasingly complex world.
