This edition by Fons Klaase focuses on social justice within social work and offers an in-depth exploration of social ethics. The study book introduces the Socratic-parrhesiastic approach as a method for moral deliberation, discussing the critical use of categorizing language through practice-oriented case studies.
What’s at stake? addresses the link between normativity and the day-to-day support of clients, with attention to social exclusion and social injustice. The book is intended for higher social studies and post-HBO programs in social ethics, normative professionalization, and moral deliberation.
The text highlights themes such as the ambivalence of agogic craftsmanship and a nuanced view of clients. Additional materials are available via an accompanying website with reflection assignments, documentaries, and background articles.
Fons Klaase is a philosopher and Social Work lecturer with extensive experience in post-HBO education at the Academy of Inholland.
