Intersubjective experiences influence theory and practice, and in turn, theory and practice affect
intersubjective experiences as illustrated by the double-headed arrow in Figure 1 [Figure omitted. See Article
Image.].
As intersubjective experiences evolve - what people accept one day may serve to harm them on the next,
administrators must be able to examine and shift their social truths to the betterment of workers, organizations,
and society in a way that public administration promotes the betterment of good governance. What is
necessary, in this goal achievement, is to apply the tools of evolutionary critical theory synergistically. This
application will combine administrative reflection and reflexivity along with research methods, such as
hermeneutics, to create improved tools for oversight and evaluation of social structures and to cultivate spaces
within bureaucracies with the ultimate goal of evolving as is beneficial to the needs of good public
administration.
"Practitioners need a theoretical framework" ([1] Abel and Sementelli, 2004, p. 6). Table I [Figure omitted. See
Article Image.] and Figure 1 [Figure omitted. See Article Image.] are attempts to build a framework that can
apply evolutionary critical theory with multiple goals and methods. The common element in Table I [Figure
omitted. See Article Image.] and Figure 1 [Figure omitted. See Article Image.] are the dimensions that public
administrators can control or, at least, shape.
