This book was optional for a nursing course in graduate school "The Philosophy of Science." It should have been required. It was a true lifesaver! The major philosophers are presented with a concise summary of their positions. I highly recommend it for anyone who doesn't want to delve through philosophical tomes in order to understand the gist of a particular philosopher's position. It is written for the nursing audience. Philosophers included are: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Descarte, Bacon, Locke, Hume, Kant, Comte, Kuhn, Laudan and Toulmin. The influence of classical philosophy, rationalism, empiricism, transcendental idealism, positivism, historicism on nursing are covered. Great asset for the graduate nursing student.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Developing Nursing Knowledge" are high quality item.
