Niklas Luhmann: Law, Justice, Society presents the work of
sociologist Niklas Luhmann in a radical new light. Luhmann's theory
is here introduced both in terms of society at large and the legal
system specifically, and for the first time, Luhmann's texts are
systematically read together with theoretical insights from
post-structuralism, deconstruction, phenomenology, radical ethics,
feminism and post-ecologism. In his far-reaching book, Andreas
Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos distances Luhmann's theory from its
misrepresentations as conservative, rigorously positivist and
disconnected from empirical reality, and firmly locates it in a
sphere of post-ideological jurisprudence. The book operates both as
a detailed explanation of the theory's concepts and as the locus of
a critique which brings forth Luhmann's radical credentials. The
focal points are Luhmann's concept of society and the law's
paradoxical connection to justice. However, these concepts are also
transgressed in order to show how the law deals with the illusion
of its identity, and more broadly how the theory itself deals with
its limitations. This is illustrated by examples drawn from human
rights, constitutional theory and ecological thinking. On the
whole, Niklas Luhmann: Law, Justice, Society serves both as an
introductory text and as a critical response to Luhmann's theory,
and is recommended reading for students and researchers in
sociology, law, social sciences, politics and whoever is interested
in seeing the influential work of Niklas Luhmann from a critical
new perspective.
