Sammanfattning
Background: With examples from research where 14 women with genetic risk of developing cancer in the ovaries were interviewed, philosophical perspectives of phenomenology are discussed. Objective: The aim of the article is to underline the importance of reflecting upon scientific and philosophical perspectives in research in general, and in particular when interviewing subjects in vulnerable life circumstances. Method: In this article literature study is used as method. The perspectives discussed are grounded in the philosophy of Løgstrup. Conclusion: It is of urgent importance that the researcher reflects upon the scientific perspective when doing research. If this perspective is not reflected upon, an unwanted and perhaps different scientific and philosophical standpoint than was desired by the researcher may characterize the research.
