A Theory of Ethics & Governance as Imperative Regimes of Regulated Freedom
This paper proposes theory of ethics as governance by imperative regimes of regulated freedom. It is derived from John Rohrs notion of basing governance ethics on core regime values. Ethics is an important guidance resource for people to follow natures requirements to sustain life. The proposed theory examines how the origin and development of public administrators governance ethics relates to natures laws of energetics and bio-energetics,and thermodynamics for conserving mass/energy and bioorganics for sustaining life. Early ethics involved the development of a persons character in terms of behavior toward living and interacting with others, interacting in the family, and later in all social situations including governance of the state. Rohrs notion of developing ethics for public administrators from core regime values is related to the human versions of their governance ethics that have been founded as a guide for their actions in the form of natures imperative regimes of regulated freedom. Imperative regimes of regulated freedom in ethics take the form of self-guidance for individuals, using both their objective knowledge reasoning and their innovative subjective experience perceptions of the situation to self-guide their behaviors and those of others in their communities to work together to their common benefit and their own governance.
