Philosophy serves as a valuable tool for exploring and addressing significant questions and issues that are pertinent to nursing practice, research, scholarship, and education. Through engaging in these philosophical discussions, this Handbook offers a gateway to gaining new insights into the field of nursing.

The Handbook is organized into seven sections, with the first chapter serving as a foundational exploration of the relationship between philosophy and nursing, as well as nursing theory. Subsequent sections delve into a wide array of philosophical topics that are relevant to nursing knowledge and activity.

One of the key themes addressed in the Handbook is the ethical dimension of nursing. Philosophical inquiries into patient care are investigated, as are socio-contextual and political concerns that impact nursing practice. Contributors also address challenging questions confronting the field, such as difficulties around speech, courage, and race/otherness. Philosophical questions pertaining to scholarship, research, and technology are also explored.

With a global perspective, this volume serves as a vital reference for individuals interested in thinking about nursing, whether they are students, practitioners, researchers, or educators. It provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to understanding the complexities of nursing and offers valuable insights into the field's philosophical foundations.
