Reviews

This collection of essays reviews philosophical and theoretical ethics issues in the field of nursing. ... Although written primarily for nursing students, the book can be used by nursing professionals at all levels. ... This book explains the philosophical roots of nursing ethics in more depth than a typical nursing book. It is an excellent one-stop resource for nurses who want to see philosophy in action. (Brandy M. Fox, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2017)
