Logic and public administration. Towards a logic of administrative action

Scientific Study from the year 2014 in the subject Organisation and administration - Miscellaneous grade: 100 language: English abstract: Starting from the idea that public administration is a complex phenomenon in order to be understood it is necessary to use an interdisciplinary approach.Due to the complexity of this phenomenon the science of administration has relations with several branches of science and with many scientific disciplines among which an important role manifest: administrative law management (in this sense emerging public management) economics (in the form of public economics) sociology (outlining a sociology of administration) psychology theory of decision logic (being able to discuss about a logic of the administration's action a logic of the administrative norms) demographics informatics etc.Logical analysis in the concept of Gheorghe Enescu represents the analysis of the logical structure of a given process of thought (expressed in a text or discourse) for the purpose of verifying the correctness of the logic. Logical analysis presupposes the following steps :1) analysis of language clarity and accuracy (manner in which the terms are defined and the sentences are formed);2) analysis of the manner in which classifications and/or divisions are performed (if any);3) analysis of arguments and in general of the logical coherence of thought;4) analysis of consistence of thought (of non-contradiction). The main condition of a process of thought is argumentation (reasoning); where there is no reasoning there is no thought in the exact sense of the word but mere expression of opinion or known information. An important place in the logical analysis is played by logical formalization. The work paper is structured on two chapters and conclusions and aims to analyze the level of applicability of the science of logic in general and of the logic of norms and actions (as branches thereof) in the sciences of administrati
