ArticlePublisher: Thousand Oaks : SAGE, September 2000Administration & Society 32, 4, p. .453-457Abstract: The new scholarship on pragmatism and public administration bears properties reminiscent of speculative philosophy. It proposes that pragmatism and public administration have historically existed in parallel universes. The articles written by Keith F. Snider and Karen G. Evans outline how pragmatism and public administration developed along parallel courses with minimal intercharge between these two bodies of thought. However, they differ on whether these two bodies of thought should be fused. Evans argues for an immediate merger whereas Snider is more cautions. The issue of fusion is a serious issue for the field and deserves careful consideration
