Public learning is viewed as a dialectical situation between a problem-solving rationale & the constant emergence of new problems requiring new problem settings. People who would reform public agencies often lack the foresight to understand that their reforms themselves will become problems as conditions change. For instance, in the present mood, to treat mental health & criminal justice problems through community organizations is to forget the negative aspects of the community that prompted creation of mental hospitals & penitentiaries in a previous period.
