Abstract
Open peer commentary on the article “Collaborative Social Work: Bridging the Individual and Society” by Lea Šugman Bohinc. Abstract: Postmodernism is criticised as entirely unfit for Šugman Bohinc’s purposes: (a) Its paralysing skepticism and relativism negates the possibility of social activism; (b) Its position against metanarrative construction negates the syncretic intentions of the author to build an overarching theoretical framework.
