公共行政学的主要问题是理论与实务的整合,尤其是个别差异与文化差异的问题,本文作者提出中西文化会通以及认识论转向的问题。中国文化重视默识知识和内容真理,西方文化则重视外显知识与外延真理;前者在行政学理论发展的启示是强调人文理性优先,后者则重视逻辑理性优先,两者应为相辅相成。行政学本土化就是要注意中国传统文化“人文理性”的优先性,这种“认识论转向”才能发展出既有本土性也有国际性意义的行政学理论。 The main problem of public administration is the integration of theory and practice, especially the issue of individual differences and cultural differences. The author of this paper proposes the issue of the convergence of Chinese and Western cultures and the transfer of epistemology. Chinese culture attaches importance to tacit knowledge and content truth, while western culture emphasizes explicit knowledge and outward truth. The former enlightenment on the development of administrative theory emphasizes the priority of humanistic reason, while the latter attaches importance to logical rationality and the two should complement each other. Localization of administration is to pay attention to the priority of Chinese traditional culture “humanistic reason ”. Only by this “epistemological turn ” can we develop the theory of administration which is both local and international.
