About this title

Synopsis

This book brings together international experts on the application of Niklas Luhmann s theory of society as autopoietic communication. Luhmann s sociological systems theory is counter-intuitive and in its detached coolness difficult for many to understand and accept. Naturally they ask: is it really worth the trouble to learn? This book demonstrates what this combination of systems theory, Batesonian information theory, von Foerster s second-order cybernetics, Maturana and Varela s autopoiesis and Husserl s phenomenology can offer. The book is produced in cooperation with the Sociocybernetic Group and Copenhagen Business School."
