Eriksson distinguishes between two kinds of major assumptions:
axioms and theses
fundamental truths in relation to the conception of the world
axioms
are fundamental statements concerning the general nature of caring science, and their validity is tested through basic research.
theses
jointly constitute the ontology of caring science and therefore also are the foundation of its epistemology
axioms and theses
The axioms are as follows:
- The human being is fundamentally an entity of body, soul, and spirit.
- The human being is fundamentally a religious being.
- The human being is fundamentally holy. Human dignity means accepting the human obligation of serving with love, of existing for the sake of others
- Communion is the basis for all humanity. Human beings are fundamentally interrelated to an abstract and/or concrete other in a communion.
- Caring is something human by nature, a call to serve in love.
- Suffering is an inseparable part of life. Suffering and health are each other’s prerequisites.
- Health is more than the absence of illness. Health implies wholeness and holiness
- The human being lives in a reality that is characterized by mystery, infinity, and eternity.
The theses are as follows:
- Ethos confers ultimate meaning on the caring context
- The basic motive of caring is the caritas motive.
- The basic category of caring is suffering.
- Caring communion forms the context of meaning of caring and derives its origin from the ethos of love, responsibility, and sacrifice, namely, caritative ethics.
- Health means a movement in becoming, being, and doing while striving for wholeness and holiness, which is compatible with endurable suffering.
- Caring implies alleviation of suffering in charity, love. charity, love, faith, and hope. Natural basic caring is expressed through tending, playing, and learning in a sustained caring relationship, which is asymmetrical by nature.

the theory of science for caring science
