Understanding Public Administration
Understanding Public Administration provides the reader with a basic foundation of the American system of public administration. This book starts with the beginnings and the early years of public administration, and how it evolved. It looks at various philosophies, including idealism, realism, pragmatism, and existentialism.

Conn is Professor of Theology and Religious Studies at Villanova University. He is also the editor of Horizons, journal of the College Theology Society.

From the perspective of learning, the neutralization of progress, growth, and maturity would usually be seen as obstacles needing to be overcome on the path toward set goals. Yet Lewis argues that a serious investigation of inoperativity opens up possibilities that would be ot...
