Rhizomatic Thought and Nursing (1): Philosophical Base

Philosophy of Gilles Deleuze is one of the most important and influential philosophies in the 20th century. Aim of this article is to discuss rhizomatic thought in nursing. This is the first of two papers, explaining philosophical bases of rhizomatic thought. A literature search was conducted using CINAHL, Proquest, PsychINFO, Social Sciences Index, Sciencedirect, scopus, and MEDLINE databases and the keywords " rhisom" and "nursing". Articles from each of these databases were examined to identify major themes, areas of agreement and disagreement across disciplines. A comperhensive and authenticative philosopher more than deleuz could not be found in contemporary. He always tried to review and restore philosophical bases and also to create new concepts. Deleuze is important in philosophical thought for two reasons: first, he after review of previews works create a new approach and second, open new horizons to philosophy.
