Автор
Niklas Luhmann (Prior To His Death In 1998, Niklas Luhmann Was Emeritus Professor Of Sociology At Bielefeld
This work represents Niklas Luhmann's definitive application of systems theory to the understanding of law. In it Luhmann reviews past attempts to create a theory of law and argues they all fail to capture how law operates in modern society. He presents an alternative, critical theory through analysing law as a system of communication.
