Overview

Luhmann (sociology, U. of Bielefield, Germany) argues that there is no individuality as seen from the outside--only self-referential individuality. This means that cells and societies, maybe even physical atoms, are all individuals. Conscious systems--which can conceive of the identity of the difference between themselves and society--have no exceptional status in the author's view. He examines social systems, communication, religion, art, politics, and law.
