A Philosophic Perspective of Bureaucracy

Willers, Jack Conrad

Peabody Journal of Education, 55, 1, 45-50, Oct 77

In examining the phenomenon of bureaucracy, the question is not of bureaucracy "for" humanity, nor of "humane" bureaucracy, but rather how much bureaucracy human beings or human endeavors can endure without losing their humanness, since it is beyond doubt that humanness remains unessential to bureaucratic control.
