Books by Charles Garofalo

Examines the public and private roles of the citizen as a moral agent. This work explains that public administration is a moral enterprise that serves the values that society considers significant, and that this moral nature makes public administration a prototype for other professions to emulate, a model of moral governance in American society.

Integrates Western philosophy's significant ethical theories and merges them with public administration theory to provide public administrators with an explicit moral foundation for ethical decision making. This title reviews moral thought through the ages, from Plato to Rorty.
