This chapter considers a new or revised model of a social state based on notions of equality, mutuality and reciprocity. It looks at ethical and philosophical approaches that can be used to develop an alternative model of welfare, citizenship and social provision, with the goal of finding an opportunity for social work and social workers to challenge the orthodoxy of a focus on risk management. To this end, the chapter draws on the work of Emmanuel Levinas to examine the notions of the duties we, as humans, owe each other. It first provides an overview of the politics of discourses of human rights and dignity before discussing the notion of ‘Othering’, Martha Fineman’s concept of the vulnerable subject, the Capabilities Approach (CA), and Marian Barnes’ ethic of care.
