This paper seeks to create a linguistic space in which a discussion of the environment might occur through an appeal to conceptions of alterity. It seeks to challenge our thinking on alterity by exploring the limits of language in our relations with the other, best epitomized through our relationship with the natural world, and in particular the non-speaking animal kingdom. To explore our moral relationship with the other we turn to Heidegger’s conceptualization of dasein, thus illuminating the limits of language. Contrasts are then drawn between the technocratic administration epitomized by Pinchot’s early administrative practices and those espoused by Aldo Leopold, deep ecologists, and ecofeminists. Administering anti-administratively is offered as afruitful middle ground between the two discourses, with alterity as the centerpiece of administrative practice. Exploring alterity through an environmental lens exposes the territoriality of contemporary public administration (PA) discourse, and seeks to challenge the exclusion of environmental concerns from both public administration theory and practice
