Editor's NoteThe Disputatio for this issue involves the value pluralism and its relevance for public administration. The three participants are knowledgeable scholars and the topic an important one. Don't miss a chance to become better informed on this important philosophical concept and the contention surrounding its applicability and relevance for public administration. AbstractIn philosophical ethics, value pluralism is the idea, often associated with Isaiah Berlin, that there are many objective, conflicting, even incommensurable values and that this necessitates often tragic moral choices. Several administrative theorists (notably Wagenaar and Spicer) have argued that value pluralism has farreaching implications for public administration. The cogency of their arguments is, however, questionable. This article critically examines the uses of value pluralism in administrative theory and concludes that its claimed implications are neither valid, nor exhaustive, nor congruent. Hence, the implications of value pluralism for public administration (if any) remain open to debate.
