Pasnau, R. (2011). Philosophy of mind and human nature.
This article discusses the human nature theory stating the essence of taking into account from the beginning whether it views human beings in essentially biological terms or supernatural terms. A lot of perennial philosophical arguments have proved intractable since their adherents separate along the lines. Human nature also emphasizes materialism, viewing humans as complex example of complex organic arrangement. It is man’s duty to develop by actualizing one’s potentials. Aesthetically, developing oneself is about being beautiful inside and out. In the biological sense, this means growing in maturity and years. In the moral sense, this means molding our character. Pasnau posits the types of tension that come from two forms of perspectives. He also discussed the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas in incorporation to the tension that hails from certain perspectives.

A number of experts contended that there is inadequate conceptual clarity of the ingredients of collaboration that relates to care quality as well as patient outcomes which may be at the very core of the issues of competencies.
