Do No Harm
Do no harm (DNH) represents a foundational moral framework for public administration ethics. Prohibitive moral principles, rather than aspirational values, provide a more coherent and operational basis for ethical public service—even when confronting demands for proactive intervention. Bernard Gert's theory of common morality reveals how rationality and impartiality underpin moral rules designed to prevent fundamental harms, while acknowledging c…
Invisible Hand, the
The assumption is that society benefits most when individuals are allowed to define and pursue their own self‐interests, with minimal interference from governments or other authorities. However, this assumption also presumes there is some guiding natural force – seldom mentioned and almost never defined – that ensures a just equilibrium will result from such self‐interested behaviors. The concept of the invisible hand first emerges in the work of…
The Stress of Russian Nouns in -ик and -ица
This article presents a computational basis for a default position of stress in Russian nouns with the final sequence -ик or -иц(a) and their variants (e.g. the suffixes -ник, -овица, etc.). The position of stress in all such words is classified as root, stem, or final (desinential) and tallied. The results of the examination suggest that stress in Russian derived nouns functions to define the boundary between the root and suffix. The presence of…
Martial Virtue
The changing nature of modern warfare and consistent problems with ethical lapses have created significant problems in the administration of the U.S. military. The authors propose reengaging civic humanism in the form of martial virtue as the basis of a new military ethic. A more civically engaged military will be better equipped to manage the complexity and demands of modern warfare and, more important, do so in a more ethically prudent manner. …

Traces of English Stress Parameters in the Russian of English Speakers
Il a ete etabli que les mots anglais peuvent contenir plusieurs syllabes accentuees, dont une avec un accent primaire, et qui sont determinees par l'information phonologique et lexicale. Par contre, les mots russes n'ont pas d'accents multiples, mais un accent unique associe a une syllabe basee sur l'information lexicale. Etant donnee cette dichotomie entre les deux langues, on peut supposer que les etudiants anglophones apprenant le russe sont s…

An Assessment of Testing Variables in Non-Native Russian Stress Placement
This paper reports on a series of tests made to determine if a correlation exists between modes of testing and the ability of Russian language students to place stress correctly. The fundamental question to be answered by this investigation was whether or not written tests provide a valid measurement of students' acquisition of Russian stress parameters. Recent advances in autosegmental phonology suggest that stress of the type found in Russian c…

Organizational America Revisited
A Partnership in Virtue among All Citizens
The future of America seems problematic, as time and events edge the nation closer to some geopolitical, economic, or environmental disaster that could tumble it into authoritarianism. These heightened times call for the highest qualities of civic character from both leaders and citizens, but, sadly, the obligations of democracy have apparently taken a distant second place to a rampant morality of personal advantage. Lost in the hedonic scramble …
Fame, Fame-Worthiness, and the Public Service
This article discusses one of the most important prescriptions of the founders for the protection of the republic: the desire of honorable people for `fame. "It considers the proposition that we have placed too much emphasis upon the purely structural considerations of the founders over and above their deep concern for the internal qualities of character of public servants. The arguments of Douglass Adair regarding fame are expanded upon. Using A…

The Virtuous Citizen, the Honorable Bureaucrat, and "Public" Administration
WORTHLEY: My first comment is in reference to Dwight's example from health care. Public servants have a lot to learn from what has happened in health care. Health systems agencies frequently have a citizen participation structure, and in some instances there is a requirement for 50 percent consumer participation in planning processes and administrative decisions. I am aware of some terrible difficulties administrators and doctors have had in deal…
The Honorable Bureaucrat among the Philistines
The argument that analytical philosophy should be the working philosophy of public administration is premature. Since the primary loyalty of public administrators must be to the "American regime values," rather than to elected officials, an ability to do moral philosophy is the necessary foundation upon which all public administration education must be based. Specifically, it is indispensable to the correct exercise of the discretionary powers of…

The Organizational Imperative
The American value system has undergone a recent and pervasive transformation. The immediate cause has been “the organizational imperative”: the primary values absolutely necessary for modern organization. This essay analyzes the organizational imperative: its a priori propositions, its rules for behavior, and its administrative norms. Particular attention is given to its impact on social values, for the organizational imperative has transformed …

Administrative Crisis
Some of the magnificence and the malaise in America is captured by the headnote quotation from Norman Mailer. Americans are fascinated by the successful solution of elaborate technological puzzles, yet many sense at the same time that technology may also be a malefactor as well as a benefactor in their lives. Deeper still beneath this ambiguity lies the uneasiness that technology is detaching the nation from the traditional values which gave it s…

Saint-Simon and the Role of the Elite
ONE OF THE LEAST KNOWN, but most perceptive social critics of the nineteenth century was Claude-Henri de Rouvroy, Comte de Saint-Simon (1760-1825). Although he was the mentor of Augustine Thierry and Auguste Comte, and an influential school of social thought was established on his reputation, relatively little has been written about his philosophy, especially in comparison with some of his more renowned contemporaries. All too frequently the tend…

Theories of Government Related to Decentralization and Citizen Participation
The most urgent question facing the United States is whether our democratic institutions, as presently constituted, are capable of resolving the accelerating problems menacing the immediate future (47)(48)(56). The extent and severity of this crisis in democratic institutions is the subject of considerable debate (18)(29)(89), but most democrats agree that reforms are necessary. The democratic reform alternatives are numerous, but they can be clu…

Social Equity, Justice, and the Equitable Administrator
It is now necessary for the proponents of social equity to develop a succinct definition of the term. It is not enough to assume that the public administrator will intuitively know what social equity means and realize that the cause is just. But the notion of social equity demands greater substantive ethical content-more than honorable, but vague, admonitions for a more humane public administration. Thus, social equity has not received the seriou…
