“…The first step is arguably an interpretive synthesis of the diverse conceptualizations of esthetic knowing that translates and transforms this rich and diverse scholarship into a coherent, common understanding of esthetic knowing that can serve as a framework for further scholarship and research.

“…It should be noted that some nursing theorists view caring as a moral imperative (cf. Morse et al,1991). The ethics of care perspective developed from the work of feminist ethicists, and is considered a sub-type of feminist ethics.…”
