It is with great sadness that we announce that Dr. Pawel Krol died on December 9^th, 2024 at the age of 51. Pawel was an exceptional IPONS member, and held the role of secretary. An associate professor at the Faculty of Nursing at Laval University, Quebec, Canada, Pawel’s scholarship focused on critiquing the nursing disciplinary foundations as well as modern issues related to nursing practice. Pawel’s worldview was rooted in critical and emancipatory epistemologies, such as continental and critical theory traditions. He was passionate about the work of Friedrich Nietzsche. We will dearly miss Pawel, and hope to honor him by showcasing his dedication to nursing philosophy in the below notable works. Please see the link below for a more expansive view of Pawel’s important work for nursing practice.

C’est avec une grande tristesse que nous annonçons que le Dr Pawel Krol est décédé le 9 décembre 2024 à l’âge de 51 ans. Professeur agrégé à la Faculté des sciences infirmières de l’Université Laval, au Québec, au Canada, les travaux de Pawel ont porté sur la critique des fondements disciplinaires ainsi que sur les enjeux dans la pratique contemporaine des soins infirmiers. La perspective de Pawel était enracinée dans des épistémologies critiques et émancipatrices, telles que dans les traditions de la théorie continentale et critique. Il était passionné par l’œuvre de Friedrich Nietzsche. Pawel nous manquera énormément et nous espérons lui rendre hommage en mettant en valeur son engagement envers la philosophie infirmière dans les œuvres remarquables notées ci-dessous. Veuillez consulter les pour un aperçu plus détaillé du travail important de Pawel.
