Presents a critical description and a performative inversion of the theory of legal autopoiesis as developed by the German sociologist Niklas Luhmann. This book introduces this theory in terms of society at large and the legal system specifically. It reveals the aporetic structure of autopoiesis. It operates as a critical response to autopoiesis.
"Niklas Luhmann: Law, Justice, Society presents the work of sociologist Niklas Luhmann in a radical new light. Luhmann''s theory is introduced both in terms of society at large and the legal system specifically, and for the first time, Luhmann''s texts are systematically read together with theoretical insights from post-structuralism, deconstruction, phenomenology, radical ethics, feminism and post-ecologism. In his far-reaching book, Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos distances Luhmann''s theory from its misrepresentations as conservative, rigorously positivist and disconnected from empirical reality, and firmly locates it in a sphere of post-ideological jurisprudence."--BOOK JACKET.
