In the field of nursing, which schools of philosophical thought
have the greatest influence? Does any one philosophical school
dominate, or has nursing been shaped by the interplay of various
philosophical tenets? In Search of Nursing Science provides an
incisive analysis of modern theories currently influencing and
challenging the field of nursing. Contributors explore and offer
their insights on such diverse philosophical schools as empiricism,
feminism, phenomenology, hermeneutics, critical theory, and
poststructuralism. Each philosophic school is carefully explored
and its relationship to - and influences on - the past, present,
and future of nursing are considered. Addressing a variety of
issues central to the advancement of nursing science, this
expansive work will be a critical tool for professionals and
academics alike. "This book provides an excellent introduction to
very complex and diverse material . . . . Particularly valuable is
the way various philosophical perspectives have been used in
nursing research and practice. The book is highly recommended for
nurse scholars and researchers and may be considered essential for
doctoral-level theory courses." --Doody's Nursing Book Review Home
Page "This book is unique in that its
contributors--nurse-scientists, educators, and
philosophers--present discussions of a variety of philosophical
approaches that have influenced the evolution of nursing practice,
education, and research . . . . it serves as an excellent resource
for doctoral students in nursing." --Choice "Nursing has long
needed a single sourcebook that sets forth the essence of several
philosophic positions concerning the nature of its science. In
Search of Nursing Science fulfills that need. Additionally, it
provides a historical perspective that will be helpful to graduate
students and other nursing scholars in determining which of an
array of philosophic positions they prefer." --Rozella M.
Schlotfeldt, Case Western Reserve University
