Book Description

Publication Date: January 9, 1995 | ISBN-10: 0803950942 | ISBN-13: 978-0803950948 | Edition: 1

This important book analyzes the major schools of thought in contemporary Western science in order to arrive at a philosophy (or philosophies) of science consistent with the discipline of nursing.

After examining traditional empiricist views of science, the contributors focus on the schools of thought that challenge them. Next, they introduce postmodern schools of thought including feminism, phenomenology, critical theory and poststructuralism.

Each analytic discussion is followed by a chapter exploring how particular tenets of the school have influenced the development of nursing knowledge and nursing science.

5.0 out of 5 stars philosophy of nursing science in understandable language, November 9, 1999
By 
This review is from: In Search of Nursing Science (Paperback)
I have found this book indispensable in my doctoral study of the philosophy of science, esp. as it applies to nursing science. Omery et al (eds.) relate the philosophical stances of various schools in language that is both accessible and true to the original sources, i.e., not over-simplified. Some sample research projects are used to illustrate the methodological implications of certain schools of thought - these are very helpful to the beginning student in this area.
