探索一种自体同源的社会理论可能性评卢曼《社会的社会》

Exploring the Possibility of an Autological Social TheoryOn Luhmann's The Society of Society

  • 摘要: 《社会的社会》是卢曼毕生研究工作的总结,其致力于形成一种关于社会的整体性理论。《社会的社会》的问题意识指出了阻碍20世纪社会学发展的四个认识论障碍,即社会由人以及人与人之间的真实关系组成、社会由人与人之间的共识构成、社会以领土国家为边界、社会可以从外部进行观察。与此相反,《社会的社会》认为社会是由沟通组成的,对各种不一致视角的包容而非共识才是社会的基本特征,社会是由所有沟通组成的世界社会,对社会的观察仍然被包含在社会中,因此是社会的自我观察。这就使得社会学成为一种自体同源的理论观察。《社会的社会》的结构以意义的“三个面向”为线索展开,以沟通理论、演化理论和社会分化理论为重点展开,同时考察了与社会结构演化相对应的社会语义演化。

     

    Abstract: The Society of Society represents the culmination of Luhmann's lifelong research, dedicated to formulating a holistic theory of society. The book's problem awareness targets four epistemological obstacles that hindered the development of 20th-century sociology: the notions that society is composed of individuals and their real interpersonal relationships; that society is constituted by consensus among people; that society is bounded by territorial states; and that society can be observed from an external perspective. In contrast, The Society of Society argues that society is made up of communications. It asserts that the inclusion of diverse and conflicting perspectives, rather than consensus, constitutes the fundamental characteristic of society. Society, in this view, is a world society consisting of all communications, and observations of society remain contained within society itself, thus amounting to society's self-observation. This renders sociology a form of autologous theoretical observation. The structure of The Society of Society unfolds along the lines of the three dimensions of meaning, with a focus on communication theory, evolution theory, and social differentiation theory. This work also examines the observation of social semantic evolution corresponding to the evolution of social structures.
