Culture of Society
This article aims to formulate the relation between culture and society from the perspective of Niklas Luhmann’s theory of self-referential social systems. Traditional sociological theories, such as those proposed by Talcott Parsons and Alfred Schutz, consider the social to be based on a common culture among people. This idea posits that a society must be defined as a society of culture because it is a product of culture. Conversely, the theory o…
How Society Changes
This article clarifies the relationship between individual freedom and social order by relying on Niklas Luhmann’s social systems theory and thereby defines sociology’s contribution to social evolution as sociological enlightenment , which seeks otherwiseness in living experience and action. For this purpose, Luhmann’s theory will specifically be compared with Emile Durkheim’s and Alfred Schutz’s sociological theories. Durkheim, a “child of the E…
Language and imagined Gesellschaft
When Thomas Luckmann, a pioneer of the 'linguistic turn' in sociology, regarded Émile Durkheim as a source for the sociology of language, he had lifeworldly community-building in mind. However, the French sociologist himself understood language in the context ofcivil society-building. To Durkheim, language was a 'social thing in the highest degree' that enabled general ideas and intermediated them to people. Abstract human ideals like the civil r…
Time as sociology's basic concept
This paper aims to clarify the proper position of time as sociology's basic concept in relation to meaning ( Sinn). In sociology, the inseparable relationship between time and meaning has been clearly shown by Schutz's phenomenological sociology and Luhmann's social systems theory. Referring to the respective theories of Bergson and Husserl, Schutz argued that the problem of meaning in Weber's interpretative sociology is a problem of time. The me…
Language, ethnicity, and the nation-state
Methodological nationalism in sociological theory is unfit for the current globalized era, and should be discarded. In light of this contention, the present article discusses Max Weber's view of language as a way to relativize the frame of the national society. While a 'linguistic turn' in sociology since the 1960s has assumed that the sharing of language-linguistic community-stands as an intersubjective foundation for understanding of meaning, W…
