Resumo: The central thesis of this article is that the definition of the strategic objective of the praxis of social worker as an emancipated society represents a great advance for the profession. As does any advance, it has confronted a conservative reaction that should not be underestimated. In addition, this advance was not made without difficulties. In particular, by assuming the form of an ethical-political process, it suggested a complementarity between ethics and politics that has serious problems and which, in the final analysis, is incompatible with the strategic definition of the profession mentioned above. The paper argues from a Marxist perspective that no political action is ethical. There is an ontological antagonism between ethics and politics. A completely ethical position is only possible in a society that is not based on capital and therefore, beyond is politics. It is also argued that a complementarity between ethics and politics is only possible in an idealist and bourgeois world view (Weltanschauung) with all of the related problems.

E, como todo avanço, enfrenta uma reação conservadora que não deve ser subestimada. Todavia, este avanço não foi realizado sem problemas. Em especial, ao assumir a forma de um projeto ético-político, sugere uma complementaridade entre a ética e a política que apresenta graves problemas e que, em última análise, é incompatível com definição estratégica da profissão. Argumenta-se que, no horizonte marxiano, não há ação política que seja ética. Há, entre estes dois complexos, um antagonismo ontológico. A plena vigência ética apenas é possível em uma sociedade para além do capital e, portanto, para além da política. Argumenta-se, também, que esta complementaridade entre ética e política apenas é possível na concepção de mundo (Weltanschauung) idealista, burguesa, com todos os problemas daí decorrentes.Revista KatálysisRevista KatálysisRevista Katálysis2005-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/article/view/612210.1590/%xRevista Katálysis; Vol. 8 No. 2 (2005): Serviço Social: contribuições analíticas sobre o exercício profissional; 256-266Revista Katálysis; Vol. 8 Núm. 2 (2005): Serviço Social: contribuições analíticas sobre o exercício profissional; 256-266Revista Katálysis; v. 8 n. 2 (2005): Serviço Social: contribuições analíticas sobre o exercício profissional; 256-2661982-02591414-4980reponame:Revista Katálysis (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/article/view/6122/5681Copyright (c) 2020 Sérgio Lessainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLessa, Sérgio2022-11-21T14:18:18Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/6122Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/oairevistakatalysis@gmail.com || kataly@cse.ufsc.br || revistakatalysis@hotmail.com1982-02591414-4980opendoar:2022-11-21T14:18:18Revista Katálysis (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
