An Introduction to Niklas Luhmann: Logic and Investigations (Critical Bodies)

German sociologist Niklas Luhmann was perhaps the most prominent European sociologist of his time, as well as the authro of a prolific list of publications.Luhmann ws influenced by his teacher, Talcott Parsons, of functional sociology fame, and by Edmund Husserl's phenonenology. Although functional sociology and pehnomenology are seemingly incompatible, Luhmann was able to provide a new twist to the Parsonian legacy, stressing meaning as the driver of the social system. The essays in this volume address the logic in Luhmann's work through concrete investigations of system, environment, and the world. These investigations in law, organization, gender, the world of technology, structuration, and race demonstrate some of the greadth of Luhmann's work
