Carpers seminal article which highlighted the four ways of knowing that types of knowing other than empirical knowledge were identified (Bonis, 2009). While there have been identified five individual ways of knowing, these ways of knowing do not exist in isolation. The nurse must use knowledge from all domains to effectively care for the patient as each contributes to the nursing profession. Empirical knowing is the science, Esthetics is the art, personal is the self,…

parents to help them monitor their children playing video games. On the other hand, the empirical study uses research and experiment to understand the connection between violent video games and violence in children that play them. Dr. Phil uses information form the American Psychological Association and the empirical study is based on research and the American Psychological Association. However, in the empirical study, playing video games and being violent is weak. Firstly, the data are not…

contemporary analysis of youth in industrialised democracies are outlined in Threadgold and Nilan’s rationalisation as more complex and fragmented in nature than that of generations before (Threadgold & Nilan, 2009, p. 51). Threadgold and Nilan’s empirical research targets two key areas in their survey: – engagements with popular culture and attitudes towards the future are in line with findings that youth are negotiating future risks constituted by privileged cultural capital (Threadgold &…

for example, a definition. (If it didn’t, it wouldn’t be a philosophical argument.) / Empirical facts, then, are relevant to philosophical arguments, although they do not play the decisive role they often play in science. To determine just how relevant those facts may be, it is necessary to examine the underlying assumptions of an argument. > Differences of assumptions. Either way, the relevance of empirical considerations must be determined in the light of the underlying assumptions.…

Popper started by stating that, induction and empirical methods are the first step for identifying a scientific theory. Induction method involves generation of principles from particular facts whereas, empirical method involves generating idea based on experiments or an observation. Based on Popper’s beliefs, these two methods alone cannot differentiate between science and pseudo-science…

However, after learning Carper’s four fundamental patterns of knowing: empirical, personal, aesthetic, and ethical knowledge, now I understand that philosophies of various nursing theories are developed from both ontological and epistemological views. Epistemology as a construct is only one part of a nursing theory. It is a…

as Carnap’s verificationism principle includes being able to falsify a theory, which agrees with Popper’s falsification criteria. However, if one chooses to accept that a theory is only scientific if it can be falsified and that it must require empirical content, then Popper’s criteria can no longer agree with Carnap’s. In addition, each criteria of demarcation encourages a different…

This topic has empirical support for the bad uses and the negatives of restrictive procedures but lacks giving alternatives or looking at the effectiveness of restrictive procedures. Empirical support of the effectiveness of the procedures is vital for psychologists who are using procedures that have no empirical support. A psychologist using these procedures is working unethically and breaking the code of conduct. Empirical knowledge that supports these restrictive procedure…
