Abstract
This article presents an interpretative phenomenological analysis of care, specifically the relationship between carer and care recipient, and the ways in which this is experienced and interpreted by carers themselves. Results reveal multiple manifestations of care, including intervention, anticipation, advocacy, and intersubjectivity. These are examined through the filter of Heidegger’s pronouncements on care, and the phenomenon is presented as both a priori and essential and concrete and variable. In its a priori sense, care is unavoidable; it is part of the very stuff of humanity. In its idiographic manifestations, care has multiple modes the salience of which relates more to temporal and contextual than to ethical or normative considerations. The article is a celebration of a multiple hermeneutic, in which both linguistic and thematic sense-making represent an opportunity for sensitive, creative and careful reflection.
