TY - JOUR A1 - Petričković, Milan T1 - Bivstvujuća askeza socijalnog rada u učenju Eriha Froma (The existing asceticism of social work in the teaching of Erich Fromm) JF - Socijalna misao, vol. 17 (No. 1, 2010) pp. 19-38. N2 - The fruitful philosophical thought of Erich Fromm reaching into the onto¬logical secrets of man’s native guaranteed essence by duality of possession and being in their dialectic opposition is important and yet sufficiently unexplored source of value paradigms of the social work science. Fromm’s thought opens up for the humanities of social work the issues of human totality and to him immanent existential teleology the aspects of which are practically met on a daily basis by social workers without them being aware of it. In that context social work (spontaneous through professional one) presents a particular type of prevailing/existing asceticism (self-abnegation) in which historical- civili¬zation roots have settled the principles of activity self-creation, inter-humanitarian sharing, commonness, mutuality, solidarity and love as pivotal bases of existential sense and joy.
