I n a series of essays that draw on both fiction
and film, as well as the disciplines of pragmatism,
organizational theory, psychoanalysis, structural
linguistics, and economics, Harmon and McSwite
make their case for human relationship as the
proper foundation of administrative ethics. "Exer¬
cising responsible ethical practice requires attain¬
ing a special kind of relationship with other peo¬
ple. Relationship is how the pure freedom that
resides in the human psyche—for ethical choice,
creativity, or original action of any type—can be
brought into the structured world of human so¬
cial relations without damaging or destroying it."
Furthermore, they make the case for dropping
the term "ethics" in favor of the term "respon¬
sibility," as "responsibility accentuates the social
[relational] nature of moral action."
Michael M. Harmon is professor emeritus of
public administration at the George Washington
University and author of Responsibility as Para¬
dox: A Critique of Rational Discourse on Govern¬
ment and Public Administration's Final Exam: A
Pragmatist Restructuring of the Profession and
the Discipline.

Whenever Two or More Are Gathered
MICHAEL M. HARMOr^ND
P.C.
McSWITE
In this study of the critical role of ethics and moral responsibility in
the field of public administration, Michael M. Harmon and
О. С. Мс-
Swite posit that administrative ethics, as presently conceived and
practiced, is largely a failure, incapable of delivering on its original
promise of effectively regulating official conduct in order to pro¬
mote the public interest. They argue that administrative ethics is
compromised at its very foundations by two core assumptions: that
human beings act rationally and that language is capable of convey¬
ing clear, stable, and unambiguous principles of ethical conduct.
The result is the illusion that values, principles, and rules of ethi¬
cal conduct can be specified in workably clear ways, in particular,
through their formalization in official codes of ethics; that people
are capable of comprehending and responding to them as they are
intended; and that the rewards and punishments attached to them
will be effective in structuring daily behavior.
