In the landscape of modern clinical practice, the prevailing ontological framework remains rooted in a Cartesian-Newtonian reductionism. This model conceptualizes the human body as a complex biological machine—a closed system of independent organs and tissues governed primarily by biochemical pathways and linear electrical signaling (Church, 2007). Within this paradigm, “caring” is defined as the external management of these chemical states, and the practitioner is viewed as an objective observer, largely insulated from the patient’s internal state.
