Philosophy and evidence based practice (EBP) has had a positive influence on the development of nursing knowledge. I believe that without philosophy and EBP nursing knowledge would not have evolved as quickly or as advanced. The frameworks that guide practice is knowledge that is built on theories with philosophical bases and disciplinary goals. (Mary K.
