公共行政不仅应当追求科学化,还应该恪守道德的原则。行政伦理是对行政活动的道德审查。行政伦理的设定是受制于多种因素的。基于中国“自律诉求”传统行政文化的制度困境、西方官僚制的伦理困境分析,新时期我国行政伦理诉求的路径应包括道德的制度安排和个体德性的伦理选择。 Public administration should not only pursue scientific, but also abide by the principle of morality. Administrative ethics is the moral examination of administrative activities. The setting of administrative ethics is subject to many factors. Based on the system dilemma of the traditional administrative culture in China, the analysis of the ethical dilemma of the western bureaucracy and the path of our country’s administrative ethics demands in the new era should include the ethical institutional arrangements and ethical choices of individual virtues.
