从英雄主义到平民关怀：社会工作伦理的反思与重构

Abstract

Abstract: Ethical value has been regarded as the core of social work, especially for the professional practice in context and globalization, social work in China needs a solid knowledge of ethical values urgently. Therefore, it is necessary to figure out internal relations between social work ethics and professional services. Through the development of western social work ethics, it is found that after the universal ethics of elitism and heroism, inspired by the post-modern constructivism, its social work ethics began to take professional context practice into account, contributing to life care focusing on the daily arrangement as well as civilian care emphasizing difference and diversity. However, such ethics is difficult to coordinate the relations between unconditional care under the infinite rationality and people’s limited patience and wisdom. It requires local social work to absorb the limited rationality hypothesis of Chinese culture and promote the in-depth combination of civilian care and context practice, enabling the professional development of Chinese social work to be connected with people’s real life and to show its reflection on cultural ethical values.

Key words: social work ethics, professional practice in context, limited rationality, heroism, civilian care
