Book Synopsis
The essays in this volume by Germany's leading social theorist of the late 20th century formulate what he considered to be the preconditions for an adequate theory of modern society.

Trade Review
“Luhmann’s thought has become more and more influential internationally as one of the very rare examples of the ability of social theory to enlarge its theoretical resources and thereby gain a new grasp of significant empirical phenomena. This book presents Luhmann as a thinker who advances existing difference theories by combining them with systems theory.”—Dirk Baecker, University of Witten/Herdecke
