Neuware - In the 'Introduction,' Ralf Rogowski provides biographical information and an overview of the development of Luhmann's social systems theory. In 'Luhmann and Constitutional Sociology: Law and Functional Differentiation Revisited,' Chris Thornhill analyses how Luhmann's theory of functional differentiation can be used as a methodological device to examine the construction of an institutional and legal framework for governance in the world society. In 'Far from Equilibrium. Niklas Luhmann on Politics and Economy in 21st Century's World Society,' Aldo Mascareño argues that the political and economic systems have intensified their unpredictable dynamics, hence increasing their levels of instability, as shown by critical events such as the 2008 financial crisis, the 2011 political upheavals, and the 2020 COVID-19 global pandemic. In 'Luhmann on Law and Legal Theory,' Richard Nobles and DavidSchiff explain how legal argumentation yields sufficient redundancy and variety in the legal system to achieve the recursive reproduction of legal communications which gives the system opportunities to evolve autopoietically.In 'Epistemic Sociology: Luhmann's Theory of Science and Knowledge,' Gert Verschraegen underscores the connection of science in society with other function systems such as the educational (coupled via curricula content in textbooks), the economy (coupled via patents), politics (coupled through research policy as well as policy advice), and the medical system (coupled through scientifically tested medicinal knowledge and operation practices). In 'Luhmann's Theory of Art,' Paul Buckermann examines how Luhmann's functional method is key to understanding art and makes visible possibilities of order that otherwise remain invisible. In 'Luhmann on Religion and Secularization,' Raf Vanderstraeten discusses, with reference to a host of examples, how the religious system contributed to the genesis of modern society, and how it was forced to adapt to the consequences of modern society's functional differentiation.In 'Niklas Luhmann and Critical Systems Theory,' Kolja Möller and Jasmin Siri outline features of a critical systems theory and its potential for a critique of modern society. In 'Niklas Luhmann and His Sceptical Notion of Culture,' Dirk Baecker outlines Luhmann's reserved attitude towards the concept of culture. In 'Luhmann, on Algorithms, in 1966,' Elena Esposito analyses an early text of Luhmann on Law and Automation in Public Administration. In 'Niklas Luhmann Observed from a Luhmannian Perspective,' Klaus Dammann analyses Luhmann's biography using Luhmannian concepts and in 'Three Encounters with Niklas Luhmann,' Gunther Teubner narrates his academic and personal experiences with Luhmann.…

The Companion contains twelve chapters written by proven experts on Luhmann’s social systems theory. Among the contributions are overviews of the development of Luhmann’s thinking, introductions to key areas of Luhmann’s theory of society and critical assessments of core concepts of his social systems theory approach. The chapters cover the main societal function systems of law, politics, the economy, science, religion and art. Among the chapters are assessments of Luhmann’s impact on debates on constitutionalism, cultural studies and critical systems theory. There are finally reflections of scholars on the way and importance of Luhmann’s thoughts for their thinking and how Luhmann’s theory has shaped their work.
