Abstract
Managerialism is one of the main philosophical issues of our times. Its orthodox values trivialize the human essence, diminish human dignity, and widen the gap between a privileged class of managers and the rest of the people. This orthodoxy must be revolutionized before a homegrown form of American totalitarianism emerges. This article presents a critique of the orthodox values, suggests a vision of four ways a revolution in values could proceed, and addresses specifically how schools of administration and professional associations might provide forums for moral discourse, which is a necessary preliminary to revolution.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
