What are systems? What is society? What happens to human beings in
a hypermodern world? Niklas Luhmann addressed these questions in
depth. This book introduces his social systems theory which
explains specific functions like economy and mass media from a
cybernetic perspective, integrating various schools of thought
including sociology, philosophy, and biology. "Luhmann Explained
explores the great thinker's radical analysis of "world society."
The book 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.
