Nurses are challenged to advance the theoretical foundations of community practice. This paper offers ideas on what has been done and what needs to be done to meet this challenge. Within a community health nursing perspective, the paper defines community, proposes an integrated knowledge development framework that focuses on community, analyses contemporary theoretical and philosophical foundations of community in nursing, considers three world-views in which nursing can be framed, and examines parameters for knowledge development for the future.

“…The benefits of pluralism, implicit in critical multiplism, have long been advocated for nursing. Pluralism has been construed as a solution to the qualitative–quantitative methods debate, as a way to address concerns about premature closure on research problems, and as a way to explore the many dimensions of the phenomena of concern to nursing ( Cull‐Wilby & Pepin 1987, Gortner & Schultz 1988, Schultz & Meleis 1988, Riegel et al . 1992 , Gortner 1993, Kim 1993).…”

Following the recognition that logical positivism was no longer tenable in modern science, post-positivism and its research methodology, critical multiplism, emerged and offered a new way of thinking about science. Though not a panacea, critical multiplism, in which methodological pluralism is advocated, offers a way around the debate of which conception of science is appropriate for nursing and, as such, poses advantages for nursing scientific knowledge development.

A case for the ‘middle ground’: exploring the tensions of postmodern thought in nursing

2001

Diverse beliefs about the nature and essence of scientific truth are pervasive in the nursing literature. Most recently, rejection of a more traditional and objective truth has resulted in a shift toward an emphasis on the acceptance of multiple and subjective truths. Some nursing scholars have discarded the idea that objective truth exists at all, but instead have argued that subjective truth is the only knowable truth and therefore the one that ought to govern nursing's disciplinary inquiry. Yet, there has been relatively little critical debate or dialogue about the implications of adopting subjective and multiple truths as a maxim to govern the discipline. In this paper we examine what it might mean to adopt subjective forms of truth as the only knowable truths for nursing, and to accept the possibility of multiple co-existing realities. We understand the implications of such a philosophical stance for the epistemological basis of a practice science to be considerable, therefore we consider what it might mean for a practice-based discipline such as nursing to remain ambiguous on the question of truth, and examine the implications of failing to achieve consensus on what constitutes a truth claim. On the basis of this examination, we urge a cautious approach to the extremes of either position and argue for a more thoughtful and rigorous dialogue about 'truth' and knowledge in nursing practice, education, and research.
