Whose life is it anyway? The life course as an observational medium in the education system
System theory defines the life course ( Lebenslauf ) as the medium of education. It is a medium, because the educator sees it as a potential for intervention, impressing pedagogically acceptable forms onto it. Yet the single individuals who are educated are autonomous observers who are exposed to an immense quantity of possible configurations of their lives. This raises a first question: how can education legitimate intentions and motivate pupils…
Unlocking Luhmann: A Keyword Introduction to Systems Theory
Luhmann's theory is fascinating and complex. It offers incomparably enlightening insights, references and research opportunities, but reveals its utility only after a quite high competence threshold. Using the reticular form of the glossary, this book makes the theory accessible while maintaining its complexity. Without being obstructed by knowledge gaps or by references to concepts presented elsewhere, readers inside and outside sociology get th…
Education has no end’: Reconciling past and future through reforms in the education system
Education conceives itself as something that cannot end. Pedagogy talks of lifelong learning and teachers would never say that their work is finished just because students graduate. But education must also be planned and must therefore rely on organizations (schools, universities). On this level, education can distinguish between different school levels, between thresholds pupils have to overcome, between before and after, and can name its outcom…

Niklas Luhmann: Education As a Social System
Legitimating reason or self-created uncertainty? Public opinion as an observer of modern politics
Theoretical approaches to public opinion are hard to find in the sociological literature, with the exception of the seminal work of Jürgen Habermas. One important alternative, although almost unknown in the English-speaking world, is offered in a few contributions by the systems theoretician Niklas Luhmann. Both critical theory and systems theory start from a historical analysis of the conditions that led to the rise of a public sphere and unders…
Niklas Luhmann. Education as a social system
Levando o indivíduo a sério: A Relação Indivíduo-Sociedade Na Teoria Dos Sistemas
Uma das contribuições mais originais da teoria dos sistemas para a sociologia contemporânea é a ideia de que os indivíduos não são parte da sociedade, mas do ambiente. Se o indivíduo é entendido como corpo e consciência, não se pode conceber a sociedade como um conjunto de bilhões de corpos e consciências. Segundo a teoria dos sistemas, a sociedade só pode ser concebida como comunicação. Cada indivíduo constitui um sistema em si, autônomo, uma co…
(Un)Bestimmtheit: Praktische Problemkonstellationen
Unbestimmtheit ist ein Signum der modernen Gesellschaft. Dieses Buch diskutiert diese These und lotet aus, inwiefern Unbestimmtheit nicht nur eine Herausforderung für die moderne Gesellschaft darstellt, sondern auch eine Ressource gesellschaftlicher Praxis ist. Die moderne Gesellschaft vor dem Hintergrund von Risiko, Unsicherheit oder Kontingenz zu beschreiben, ist ein soziologischer Allgemeinplatz. Der Band knüpft zwar an derartige Diagnosen an,…
Medienkonflikt in der modernen Wissenschaft
Beobachtet man die Selektionsverfahren von wissenschaftlichen Zeitschriften und Verlagen, gewinnt man den Eindruck einer Diktatur der Massenmedien (hier vor allem der Publikationen) über die eigentliche wissenschaftliche Funktion, neues Wissen herzustellen. Das ist durch das bekannte Syndrom »publish or perish« bekannt und wird oft als riskante Alternative gesehen: entweder Karriere durch Standardforschung oder Grenzforschung mit unsicheren Persp…
Reform und Innovation in einer unstabilen Gesellschaft
Geräuschlos und unbemerkt: Zur Paradoxie struktureller Kopplung
Strukturelle Kopplungen zwischen sozialen Systemen weisen eine interessante doppelgesichtige Form auf. Einerseits sind sie Vorbedingung für die Existenz jeder Art von System: sie müssen vorausgesetzt werden und sind für die gekoppelten Systeme nicht zur Disposition. Deswegen sagt Luhmann, daß strukturellen Kopplungen „geräuschlos und unbemerkt" arbeiten. Andererseits sind alle bekannten Formen struktureller Kopplungen zwischen sozialen Systemen i…
