DEONTOLOGY OF SOCIAL WORK: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL FOUNDATION OF PROFESSIONAL ETHICS

Abstract

The article examines the role and place of deontology in professional ethics and the system of philosophical ethics as a whole. The author argues that deontology occupies an important place in moral education and is an integral part of professional ethics. Particular attention is paid to the study of professional deontology, which regulates the behaviour of specialists in the process of professional activity. The author emphasizes that deontological regulation is necessary in those types of professional activities that have certain features, such as great social significance, a direct relationship between the performer and the consumer, and a high degree of autonomy of the specialist.
