ArticlePublisher: 2000The American Review of Public Administration 30, 3, p. 252-270Abstract: When understood as a public act of participation rather than solely as a private act of voting, political activity may be regarded either as an instrumental process in the pursuit of public ends or as a transformative process that fosters citizen development. In seeking to develop a discoursive theory of governance, Fox and Miller have built especially on the notions of participarive policital process developed by Jurgen Habermas but, although they reject HAbermas`s grounding in foundational moral principles, they have largely retained his amphases on both rational procedure and instrumental pursuit. Drwaing on intersections of feminist, post modernist, and critical ideas around the nature of the moreal experience, this article seeks to envision an laternative notion of public sphere discourse, one gounded less in the rationally of argumentation and more in the nonrationalityof human relationship
