For an Ethics of Public Management

Abstract

The increased complexity in order to link ethics and governance is the epistemological ignorance of the unscientific nature of the constructs that try to make a serious analysis of the activities in which they get involved. In this paper we investigate the possible ideologizations that dwell in both disciplines, in order to propose, as an hypothesis, that if we assume the immersion of both in the capitalist discourse, they are bended in favor of the first. Only the subversion of the critical spirit would make possible to overcome individualism, previous acknowledgement of the cultural essence of what is human, in order to, from there, find the links most legitimate possible, which is brought to example with the philosophical wit of Margalit and Freud.
