Twenty-first century America is marked by deep and seemingly incommensurable divisions in terms of public policy solutions to our most intractable issues. Health policy challenges are not immune to these deep divisions, as the debate during and since the passage of the Affordable Care Act illustrates. Positions on key public policy issues are driven by largely implicit and unarticulated philosophical presuppositions that guide individuals’ notions of the nature of government, individuals’ moral obligations to each other, how society assesses quality of life, and what it means to be a community. If faculty in schools of nursing are to prepare graduate nurses to enter into these heated public policy debates, we must help students understand, identify, and articulate the philosophical presuppositions that undergird reasoning related to health policy issues. In this article, we present a working taxonomy that can help faculty members provide students with a basic understanding of core philosophical principles. We attempt to categorize all of western political philosophy into four distinct traditions or “impulses,” describing each of these four traditions in detail. We illustrate each tradition’s approach to political reasoning using a specific health policy case study. We conclude with some guidance about how to implement this content within a doctoral-level public policy curriculum.
