  • Viskovatoff, Alex (2016): Foundations of Niklas Luhmann’s Theory of Social Systems. In: Philosophy of the Social Sciences 29 (4), S. 481-516. DOI: 10.1177/004839319902900402

    Abstract: Of all contemporary social theorists, Luhmann has best understood the centrality of the concept of meaning to social theory and has most extensively worked out the notion's implications. However, despite the power of his theory the theory suffers from difficulties impeding its reception. This article attempts to remedy this situation with some critical arguments and proposals for revision. First, the theory Luhmann adopted from biology as the basis of his own theory was a poor choice since that theory has no explanatory power, being purely descriptive; furthermore, that theory is fundamentally flawed since it implies that viruses are impossible. Second, Luhmann's theory of meaning cannot coherently make the social domain autonomous as he desires since Luhmann does not take into account the distinction between syntax and semantics. By introducing this distinction, making clear that social systems consist of rules, not just communications, and raising the rule concept to the same prominence in social theory as those of actor and system, autonomy can be maintained while avoiding the counterintuitive aspects of Luhmann's theory.

  • Momdzhyan, Karen; Podvoyskiy, Denis G.; Krjevov, Vladimir S.; Antonovskiy, Alexander Yu.; Barash, Raisa E. (2015): Systematic Theoretical Approach to the Explanation of The Social Reality. Philosophical or Sociological Methodology?

    Abstract: Studying the relation of sociology and philosophy, the authors distinguish between two different types of philosophy: scientific philosophy that studies the world and man's place in it and evaluative philosophy that seeks meaning of human existence in the world. The authors examine different interpretations of sociology, stopping at one of them, which studies the social life as a system, it's integrity and historical types of existence (Momdzhyan K.Kh).The article discusses the validity of the proposed current interpretations of two key concepts - the "social" and "society" (Krzhevov VS.). Special attention is paid to describe characteristic obstacles to a potential constructive dialog between sociological and philosophical communities (Podvoyskiy D.G.). Some prospects of systemic philosophy of sciences (in framework of the sociology of knowledge) are considered in their consequences for the philosophical theory of truth (Antonovskiy A.Yu). Some resources of the theory of social systems (especially the concepts of double contingency and self descriptions) are drawn as an interdisciplinary methodology of analyze of culture and multiculturalism (Barash R.E.).

  • Hachimi, Mohammed El; Schlippe, Arist von (2000): Systemische Therapie und Supervision in multikulturellen Kontexten. In: System Familie 13 (1), S. 3-13. DOI: 10.1007/s004910050002

    DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s004910050002 

    Abstract: Der systemische Ansatz ist für multikulturelle Beratungskontexte besonders nützlich. Es werden verschiedene Vorgehensweisen vorgeschlagen, die Zugang zu den Personen anderer Kulturkreise ermöglichen. Eine besondere „Verfremdung“ ergibt sich aus der Verbindung des Textes mit den Schriften eines arabischen Mystikers: sieben „Tälern der Erkenntnis“ werden sieben Problembereiche systemischen Handeln in multikulturellen Kontexten zugeordnet. Theoretische Aspekte werden diskutiert (spez. das Konzept der Erwartungs-Erwartungen), die Übertragung verschiedener systemischer Methoden (z.B. zirkuläres Fragen, Genogrammarbeit, Joining usw.) auf dieses Feld wird beschrieben und in zahlreichen Beispielen erläutert.
