The "system" conceptualized by von Bertalanffy is one of the most basic concepts because we can describe every object (whether it really exists or not) as the system. Some people have tried to introduce the concept of system into the basic theories of social work practice to overcome the difficulty of dichotomy between person and environment. But, because General Systems Theory is too abstract and non-directive for the practice, the concept of system have been limited by the ecology to be made more humanistic and directive, so the ecological perspective have been established. In this paper, the theoretical limitations of the ecological perspective will be argued from a phylosophical point of view. First, the ecological perspective pays little attantion to the theory of system-modification processes so that it tends to lead us to conservative and status-quo positions. Second, it does not understand the social comprehensively because it just see the environment as the resources to promote human growth and development. For the philosophical study on social work, it is necessary to establish the grand theory by which we can understand the social as the system and describe the modification processes of the social system.
