Abstract
This paper aims at offering contributions to the debate on Social Work research, an imperative process to professionals who deal with the continued and expanded reproduction of social inequality in the mature bourgeois system (broadly characterized as the “social issue”). This is done by considering the several contradictions that currently exist for carrying out totality-oriented research, focused on the wealth of reality itself (in its objective logic). What are the paths to foster the production of genuinely ontological-material studies? What are the main hurdles to that? How the specificities of Social Work research can be located in this controversial context?

It is important to highlight, as a matter of introduction, that Social Work had its creation connected to the monopolist-imperialist order of the capital (NETTO, 1998), under a Fordian rationalization standard of the labor force (ANTUNES, 2005), as part of the specialized collective labor that started to compose the social division of labor in the late 19th Century (IAMAMOTO e CARVALHO, 1985)
Regarding the method in Marx’s social theory, a feature necessary for knowledge production oriented by the ontological perspective, Lukács states that (2012, p. 297): The system criticism that we have in mind, and that we find consciously explained in Marx, rises, on the contrary, from the totality of the being in the investigation of the connections themselves, and tries to seize them in all their intricate and multiple relations, in the maximum degree of approximation possible
Summary
This paper aims at offering contributions to the debate on Social Work research, an imperative process to professionals who deal with the continued and expanded reproduction of social inequality in the mature bourgeois system (broadly characterized as the “social issue”). In the following decades (1980/1990), there was a significant effort of the category to strengthen the scientific and professional basis, in relation to the process of critical construction of the profession and the professional practice, both guided by the socio-historical contribution of the analysis of the real, spread out by the 1982 curriculum From this moment onwards, the professional category of Social Workers, through its main representatives (CRESS, CFESS, ABESS/ABEPSS) clearly assumed a different perspective in tune with the defense of workers' rights
