This is the second edition of the Handbook, again addressed to uniting philosophy and public administration. Few subjects are more influenced by philosophy than the form of goveance a public selects to guide and administer its public affairs. Yet, the literature continues to be strangely
silent about the relation between the two. It continues to be our hope that this book will inspire many more efforts to explore this most important of relationships, especially because the real work has only just begun. In the 21st century, it is particularly appropriate to build such bridges from
the past to the future and to rediscover our roots while contemplating our intellectual progress.
