This book integrates Western philosophy's most significant ethical theories and merges them with public administration theory to provide public administrators with an explicit moral foundation for ethical decision making. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEthics in the Public Service\u003c\/i\u003e reviews moral thought through the ages, from Plato to Rorty, and makes the philosophies of the more difficult thinkers accessible to both students and practitioners. Unifying seemingly disparate ethical positions, including those of Aristotle, Kant, and Mill, the authors defend the idea of objective moral truth and critique subjectivist views, refuting postmodernism and ethical relativism. Using their integrated objective approach, they tackle such dichotomies in public administration theory as bureaucracy vs. democracy, and they also examine a case study in an administrative setting. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffering a better understanding of moral dilemmas rather than a formula, this book presents scholars and practitioners with a framework that is both objective and flexible, theoretical and practical. This original synthesis provides a comprehensive basis for administrative thought and action. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Garofalo, Dean Geuras\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0878407375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780878407378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgetown University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 5.98w x 0.61d","brand":"Charles Garofalo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992542806271,"sku":"9780878407378","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ac2c5348-5405-401a-8934-a72aee9dd13a.jpg?v=1683319508","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ethics-in-the-public-service-charles-garofalo-9780878407378","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
