Tóm tắt
Despite a long history of close association, the humanities no longer hold special significance for bureaucratic practitioners or students of public administration. However, a revival of the humanities–bureaucracy link is both desirable and possible. This article presents the case for a humanities or liberal arts conception of public administration in four parts. First, the article argues that modern humanism made possible the successful development of modern bureaucracy by providing emerging bureaucratic states with timely intellectual support. Second, the article describes the curricular landscape of contemporary public administration education that, unlike other professions, makes little room for humanities subjects. Third, the article shows how scholars and public managers may benefit from a renewed connection with the humanities. Finally, the article presents the foundation of a new public administration emphasizing a humanities-inspired perspective aimed at developing a civil service infused with technical expertise, intellectual self-awareness, and moral autonomy. © 2018, © 2018 Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration.
