Publisher Synopsis
It is as much the way that an author's works are received as the works themselves which determines their importance. This collection edited by Michael King and Chris Thornhill makes worthwhile reading. This volume consists of highly diverse contributions concerning Niklas Luhmann's creative work. Certain of them are careful studies on this or that aspect of Luhmann's work, while others apply Luhmann's conceptual constructions in different settings. This book provides an opportunity to question the meaning and the range of Luhmann's outputLuhmann represents, a speculative revolution, and it is for this reason that he merits our attention.Luhmann is one of the most important German sociologists of the second part of the 20th Century.Hugues RabaultDroit et Societe, No 65/2007 Read more...
