Summary/Abstract: If human sciences study behaviours, administrative science mobilizes a number of disciplines, raising administration problems from a double perspective – theoretical and practical. Since the points of view of specialists in these disciplines do not overlap, one speaks of plural administrative sciences rather than of a single, unified administrative science. Administrative science is generally approached within a single discipline, even if it requires a broader approach, with no need to integrate knowledge from different disciplines that have as their object the knowledge of public administration, as it is difficult to reduce the research results from these disciplines to a common denominator. But a theory of public administration common to all administrative sciences can only be achieved through the common approach of research devoted to the current problems of public administration, research undertaken by representatives of administrative law, administrative procedure, administrative policy, sociology, history, political science, legal linguistics, etc. to focus on diverse and selective topics, to approach in a general way, but also in detail.
