Philosophy offers a means of unpacking and grappling with important questions and issues relevant to nursing practice, research, scholarship, and education. By engaging in these discussions, this Handbook provides a gateway to new understandings of nursing.
The Handbook, which is split loosely into seven sections, begins with a foundational chapter exploring philosophy's relationship to and with nursing and nursing theory. Subsequent sections thereafter examine a wide range of philosophic issues relevant to nursing knowledge and activity.
- Philosophy and nursing, philosophy and science, nursing theory
- Nursing's ethical dimension is described
- Philosophic questions concerning patient care are investigated
- Socio-contextual and political concerns relevant to nursing are unpacked
- Contributors tackle difficult questions confronting nursing
- Difficulties around speech, courage, and race/otherness are discussed
- Philosophic questions pertaining to scholarship, research, and technology are addressed
International in scope, this volume provides a vital reference for all those interested in thinking about nursing, whether students, practitioners, researchers, or educators.
Martin Lipscomb is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Worcester's Three Counties School of Nursing and Midwifery (UK).
