Social Work – on the Margin of Science

Aleksandar Halmi ; Filozofski fakultet, Zagreb

Abstract

Social work has arrived at a turning point presently. On the one hand, it is being dominated by concepts which place it among sociological disciplines, and on the other it is being treated as an independent part of science, or simply ignored. As a result, tree fundamental questions arise: 1. Which are the essentials of the scientific founding of a particular human activity as a social work is, 2. Is there a science of social work at all, and in the highly developed classification of basic and applicable disciplines, 3. Is there a specific object of social works and what is the object of its study? It would take a systematic study of its own, which would treat these epistemological problems to supply an answer to these questions.
