ABSTRACT:


In addressing ethics expertise, we are looking at the theory of communicative action, in order to stress the need for developing a new ethics expertise model: supervision of ethics. The paper is theoretical, grounded in the theory of communicative action, which we reinterpret in terms of social construction of ethics expertise, customized in social work practices. The ethics of communicative action focuses on an equal inter-subjective communicative action with morally passive patients, incapable of inter-action in any debate generating moral consensus. We argue the need for updating ethics expertise by bringing into practice this new model, which will be able to make professional and organizational values compatible, exercising a supplementary gatekeeping role in the transfer of political theories about the public good through the implementation of programs and practices.
