Hans-Georg Moeller.
Luhmann Explained: from souls to systems.
Open Court. 2006
Luhmann Explained is a user-friendly introduction to
the social systems theory of Niklas Luhmann (1927-1998),
whose ‘supertheory’ offers a radically novel description of our society
that breaks with older humanist concepts.
It explains the economy and mass media from a cybernetic perspective
and integrates research from sociology, philosophy, and biology
to arrive at a complete analysis of ‘world society’.
Professor Moeller gives special attention to the present-day relevance of Luhmann’s theory with respect to globalization, electronic mass media, ethics, and new forms of protest.
