Résumé

This article provides a rationale for the employment of the humanities in expanding the ways in which those associated with education can come to know educational administration. It does so by illustrating how the humanities can overcome the limitations of the subject-object duality that is a part of most current approaches to the study of administration. The new insights and understandings that will inevitably accompany exposure to the humanities will provide opportunities for administrators to develop a philosophical approach to administration that will assist them in dealing with the moral issues that constitute an important part of their daily regimen.
