History of Social Welfare/ Social Work
The need to understand history of social work
.
 
The need to understand history of social work 
The diversity of social work represents a great challenge for social work research, education and practice inthe rapidly internationalizing and globalizing world. This challenge can be met successfully only with a deepphilosophical and historical understanding of the characteristics of a particular country - and welfare regime
 –
 including the specific traditions of welfare systems and the position and role of social work within them.Research into the philosophy and history of social work strengthens this understanding through analyzing theconceptual and genealogical fundamentals of the traditions of social work. This kind of research contributes tothe theoretical self-conception of social work which is necessary for the development of social work asa modern professional system, a scientific discipline and a research-based activity. The development of socialwork as a modern social system depends on its intellectual capacity based on this kind of theoretical self-conception.Issues within the philosophy of science, political philosophy and the general theory of social action play animportant role in the philosophy of social work. Philosophical analyses are closely connected with the history of concepts of social work, but also contribute to the history of social work as a professional social system andsocial work practices in individual countries. There are several specific areas in practical social philosophydealing significantly with the theoretical self-conception of social work, for example the philosophy of family,educational philosophy, the philosophy of law, and the theory of human rights. In addition to this, issues of philosophy of science are of great importance for the development of the science of social work.http://eris.osu.eu/index.php?kategorie=35174&id=5176
