Transcendent Pluralism: A Middle-Range Theory of Nonviolent Social Transformation Through Human and Ecological
1Graduate School of Nursing, University of Massachusetts Worcester.
Abstract:
Transcendent pluralism is a middle-range theory that focuses on the emergence of human dignity within relationships among diverse peoples through nonviolent social transformation. The theory proposes that contemporary social problems that negatively influence health are rooted in human and ecological devaluation and that healing is needed through the advance of dignity. The theory has been developed through both deductive and inductive processes including 4 research studies. The theory of transcendent pluralism provides a framework for nurses seeking to advance dignity. This article provides an overview of the theory's development and components.
