ABSTRACT
At the end of the day, the practice of caring is a form of ‘living’ and not just a matter of ‘knowing’. Yet caring as a living practice does include certain kinds of knowing and understanding as indicated previously. This is why in the last three chapters we have concentrated on the kinds of epistemologies that are conducive to caring, and in this context, we emphasised the notions of embodied relational understanding, the empathic imagination, and the kinds of research-based knowledge that can speak to the heart of caring and the heart of practice.
