Public Service, Struggle, andExistenz

Abstract

Understanding and conceptualizing what it means to be an "individual" remains a critical yet understudied area for public administration. The existential perspective of Karl Jaspers can provide a dynamic, broader philosophical map to organize, under-stand, and discuss the often implicit assumptions that have existed and continue to exist regarding individuals and their relation to governance. Considering Jaspers's work creates the possibility to recognize, order, and reconcile issues of perspective that tend to fracture contemporary scholarship in the profession.
