Abstract: Philosophical knowledge may enable a deeper understanding of key issues of public governance, public administrative systems, and public services management. Bringing philosophical knowledge into public administration – far from representing a retreat in the Ivory Tower - is of the utmost practical significance. The paper aims at sketching the contours of a research agenda about how to develop research on public administration by bringing philosophical thought systematically into the field and by outlining four complementary paths to this purpose.
