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.
在认识到逻辑实证主义在现代科学中已不再站得住脚之后，后实证主义及其研究方法——批判多元主义应运而生，并提供了一种思考科学的新方式。批判多元主义虽不是万灵药，但它倡导方法论多元主义，为解决哪种科学概念适用于护理学的争论提供了一条途径，因此对护理科学知识的发展具有优势。
