PS: Political Science and PoliticsSummary: The responsibilities for involving citizens in the democratic processes of governance and developing in them an enriched sense of community, civility, and the common good, rest squarely on the shoulders of public administrators. Viewed from this perspective, democracy, at its best, takes the form of an ongoing pedagogical process that reflects something similar to the Platonic notion of an "intelligent love" - i.e., a type of love based on the notion of a transcendent good that, in turn, serves as a guide for action. - Reproduced
