Now in its third edition, Philosophical and Theoretical Perspectives for Advanced Nursing Practice has established itself as one of the few texts that successfully explores the healthy discourse surrounding nursing theory, research, and practice. A collection of 26 classic and contemporary articles selected by Janet Kenney, the text is divided into six parts that address the discipline and the development of nursing knowledge; the history and evolution of nursing science; the concepts of the metaparadigm; contemporary perspectives of nursing; and the interrelationships between nursing theory, research, and practice.
