Toward a complementary perspective on worldviews
1School of Nursing, Widener University, Wallingford, Pennsylvania, USA.
Abstract:
In this column, it has been argued that fragmentation of knowledge in nursing science can be related to the dominant way of thinking of worldviews as competitive dualities. To move toward resolving that conflict, the thesis has been set forth to claim that a complementary perspective on worldviews as an ontological framework can promote knowledge synthesis and alternative thinking methods in nursing science. Implications of the potential for a complementary perspective for encouraging integrative and creative thinking for professional nursing practice has been presented.
