Conservative Comforts : Some Philosophical Crumbs for Social Work / Lee, Chris in The british journal of social work, 8, vol. 44 (December 2014)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe british journal of social work > 8, vol. 44 (December 2014) . - pp. 2135-2144 Titre : Conservative Comforts : Some Philosophical Crumbs for Social Work Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lee, Chris, Auteur Editeur : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : pp. 2135-2144 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Cardijn Santé maternelle # Travail social TS Libéralisme économique # Valeurs (philosophie) Résumé : "Social work literature makes many claims to radicalism and reaches out with an ambitious intellectual agenda, to exhort changes in perspective and suggest changes in practice. However, all Western social work is caged tightly within a neo-liberal framework. Is it time therefore to seek a counter intuitive inspiration in the philosophical grounding of neo-liberalism itself? Can a social work value system connect somehow with a conservative tradition that seeks to preserve rather than to overturn that which is cohesive, traditional and organic? Might not the NHS and other institutions of the post-war consensus form now a conservative bulwark against the onslaught of a capitalist destruction which has ceased to be creative? The pragmatism of social work requires an allegiance only to those whom it seeks to help. As an egalitarian discourse retreats from the brutality of austerity politics, social work can call upon conservatism to overturn the logic of social ruin."
