In a 1973 interview conducted for the WDR educational television editer "Philosophy editer Today" Niklas Luhmann editer is asked finally, what critics of his system theory he feared the most. The then 45-year-old sociology editer professor looks mischievously at the camera and says: - If, in this confidence of the reason why the systems theory of Niklas Luhmann is exposed across the disciplines editer evil insults "The fools."?
Since invents an administrative lawyer for dispassionate description of increasingly complex society in the 1960s, a new terminology that describes how the various systems of our society work: law, business, education. editer They all observe their environment under a divalent code.

Sounds simple. editer
The philosophy called this theory reflexively trivial and methodologically underexposed. Jürgen Habermas qualified Luhmann's reflections from domination as a stabilizing and conservative. Ideologies, moral barriers or even social criticism play no role in systems theory. Do not be just the Operating the "attitudes of superior knowledge" editer of critical theory, justifies Luhmann.
"One editer can such objections editer are already calling topos of the reception," says Oliver editer Year in, one of the editors editer of the "Luhmann's Guide" (here it goes to a reading sample). Year in German studies and sociologist Armin Nassehi, both professors at the Ludwig Maximilians University editer in Munich have teamed up with their teams, and compiled 104 essays in significantly exceeded the targeted by JB Metzler circumference.

In addition, a 90-page attempt to trace the reception of Luhmann of ethics editer to psychology.
The whole thing is put together so extensive in kind of "accurate accounting" that characterized Luhmann, that you can lose yourself. Literature lead further and especially deeper into the mine system theory into it, and who can be a couple of days mentioned at some point in Luhmann's famous paper box, which is where he records his reading, developed his thoughts, his entire scientific career has gestaltetet.
About 50 monographs and over 500 papers wrote until his death in 1998, Luhmann. Not all are already editer published. Continuously published writings from the estate, most recently both "power in the system" and "contingency and Law" 2013 by Suhrkamp.
