Law as a Social System

More about the book

Niklas Luhmann offers a groundbreaking perspective on law by applying systems theory to its understanding. He critiques previous legal theories for their inability to reflect the functioning of law in contemporary society. By analyzing law as a system of communication, Luhmann proposes a critical alternative that reshapes how we perceive legal processes and their role within social systems. This work is essential for those interested in the intersection of law and systems theory.
