245 _a"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood: public administration, the management orthodoxy, and civic humanism
520 _aPublic administration is confronted with a dilemma: wqhether to follow the course of the management orthodoxy; or to follow the coursae of civic humanism. It is argued that the profession should follow the latter path. Democratic public administration must be informed by a civic idealism, centering on civic virtue, that insures that morality will be realized in action. Yet in recent years, public administration has become overly entranced with the orthodoxy of the management sciences. The profession's ties with the management sciences have proven to be practically advantageous, but, overall, the association has been negative. Public administration has begun to lose into soul: its sense of civic idealism.
