Abstract

<p>The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relationship between public policy making and political philosophy (or normative political theory). Public policy deeply connects with norm and value. But political philosophy that explores norm and value does not play important role but peripheral role in public policy studies.</p><p>This paper maintains that political philosophy plays two important roles in the public policy process. These roles are called “democratic underlabourer” First, political philosophy as democratic underlabourer offers the framework of normative cognition to the actors in agenda setting. Second, it clarifies value commitment that policy makers implicitly presuppose in policy-making process.</p><p>By the democratic underlabourer political philosophy contributes the articulation of norm and value concerning public policy, and the improvement of the modes of thinking in the policy processes.</p>
