This article explores Johann Gottfried Herder’s ideas on cultural pluralism and the state and what they suggest for American and comparative public administration. Herder’s ideas provide a powerful reminder of the dangers of centralized political and administrative power both to individuals and to diverse cultures and the need to place limits on such power. Furthermore, Herder’s ideas on the incompatibility and incommensurability of cultural values call into question the idea of any universal model of public administration and suggest that, in thinking about administrative changes, we should examine more closely our own political and social culture as well as those of other countries
