An agile introduction to the main philosophical streams, from classical metaphysics to phenomenology, this thoroughly updated second edition develops new insights, such as the social ontology of public administration. This second edition is an accessible guide in using practices, models, paradigms, ideal-types and utopias for improving public administration. Edoardo Ongaro explores connections between basic ontological stances and public governance, shedding light on the nature of public administration by revisiting fundamental philosophical issues. The quest for justification and legitimacy of public governance is examined, and 'Common Good', 'Social Contract' and 'Personalism' arguments vetted. Ongaro introduces a new chapter that guides readers in developing research on the link between philosophical foundations and public administration and teaching philosophy for public administration in university programmes. This is the only book to provide a comprehensive examination of how philosophical thought matters for understanding public administration. It is a must-read for academics and practitioners alike reflecting on, or practising the management of, public services and the updated sections will advance discussions and debate among public administration scholars"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aPublic administration$xPhilosophy$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01082020 606 $aPublic administration$xPhilosophy 610 $aPublic governance book 610 $aphilosophy and public governance 610 $ateaching public administration 610 $aEpistemology and public administration 610 $aPolitical philosophy 610 $aPhilosophy and public administration book 610 $asocial ontology and public administration 615 7$aPublic administration$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPublic administration$xPhilosophy. 676 $a351.01 700 $aOngaro$b Edoardo$0149101 712 02$aEdward Elgar Publishing, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910410648803321 996 $aPhilosophy and public administration$92156991 997 $aUNINA
