Indigenization and authentization of epistemology in China's social work: Moving beyond Confucianism, Taoism, and Chinese Buddhism
INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL WORK(2023)
Abstract
How China's social work can establish its own epistemology has remained largely unexplored. This article focuses on Confucianism, Taoism, and Chinese Buddhism to start this epistemological exploration, as they represent Chinese culture and can provide valuable epistemological elements for China's social work. Moving beyond epistemological elements from these philosophies, how social workers in China can further develop social work research and practice based on the unique Chinese context is also discussed, specifically through the processes of indigenization and authentization of epistemology in China's social work. Limitations and future research directions are also presented to guide future discussion.
