Woodrow Wilson argued for a state led by a powerful government, guided by science, for the accomplishment of a purposive state. This work contends that though Wilson has not explored questions of political theory in his writing, a vision of the state has emerged in his work nonetheless.

Drawing on political and social philosophy, this title argues that there is a fundamental philosophical conflict over the role of reason in society between writers in public administration and the designers of the American Constitution. It provides fresh insights for those who are interested in the role of public administration in the US.
