Summary/Abstract: As a product of epistemological underdevelopment, seemingly un­necessary doubts and perplexities are often brought to focus as the­oretical dilemmas in the social work science. With the aid of a more sober gnoseological interpretation, these doubts and perplexities can be disambiguated, and in the context of contemplative reality, properly comprehended. As illustrations of this thesis, in this text are mentioned quasi-theoretical doubts about the terminological mark­ing and multi-faceted meaning of the term theory, then the illusion of the theoretical juxtaposition of modern and mental past experience, fictive clash of universality and cultural specificity of social work, pro­jected theoretical inability to reconcile folk and scientific experience, and the theoretical confusion of not recognizing the universal nature of the historical and civilization labor of social work.
