Here, philosophers wittily and expertly uncover amazing philosophical insights from the endlessly fascinating TV show, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Greg Littmann shows how the values of the gang are the same as those of Homeric heroes. Christopher Ketcham argues that the Church should make Charlie a saint, partly because It's Always Sunny is "all about free will." Russ Hamer shows how closely the gang's activities comply with the scientific method. Kyle Alkema and Adam Barkman analyze the way the gang perceives happiness and how they try to get it. Charlotte Knowles considers whether Heidegger would consider members of the gang authentic or inauthentic -- and concludes that they're a bit of both. Skyler King examines the morality of the gang's behavior by the standard of how they respond to extreme suffering. Ethan Chambers agrees that each of the five central characters is a terrible person, but argues that they are not truly to blame for their actions. Fenner Tanswell demonstrates that many of the gang's wrong actions result not from immoral motives but from illogical thinking. And Robert Arp compiles a hilarious list of historical examples where people acted even more foolishly than the Philadelphia Five.

This is an excellent reminder in this time of overly managed care
Jean Watson has really articulated what nursing is about. She describes her theory of caring very clearly. She has reawakened my passion for nursing. She really challenges nurses to reflect on their individual interactions with patient. This is an excellent reminder in this time of overly managed care, where there is so much pressure to accomplish tasks and forget about "caring" for the patient. I do not agree with the more New Age aspects of the theory, but the main premise, which is "caring" is very powerful. Jean Watson is a treasure.

The value of caring in Nursing for yesterday , today and tomorrow
Jean Watson is not only a top Nursing Theorist but her writing illuminates the way forward for humanity as well through caring about each other as individuals and uniting our cultures in love and caring as a whole. This being a seminal work on Nursing as Caring has an updated version of her brilliant thesis. Her steps are now Caritas processes and can be utilised to guide everyday nursing in any domain. Palliative Nurses would be able to glean plenty from Jean's amazing work which lives on internationally

Wonderful book
Format: Paperback
This is a great book for those who are interested in looking at the caring side of nursing. We are so caught up in the science, that sometimes people forget that they are taking care of human beings. I would recommend this book to anyone that is a nurse or is thinking about becoming a nurse, and even for any health care practitioner. Jean Watson is amazing, her philosophies can be applied to your every day life. And it also causes the practitioner to focus on their own life, which is very key in being a successful practitioner.
