In: Legal theory today
"This book uses Niklas Luhmann's systems theory to explore how the legal system operates as one of modern society's subsystems. The authors demonstrate how this theory alters our understanding of some of the most important and controversial issues within law: the nature of judicial communication and legal argument; the claim that it can be right to disobey law; the character of legal pluralism and globalisation; time and its construction within law; the significance of the rule of law and human rights and the role of appeals to, and within, law."--Back cover

A Systems Theory of Religion, still unfinished at Niklas Luhmann's death in 1998, was first published in German two years later thanks to the editorial work of André Kieserling. One of Luhmann's most important projects, it exemplifies his later work while redefining the subject matter of the sociology of religion. Religion, for Luhmann, is one of the many functionally differentiated social systems that make up modern society. All such subsystems consist entirely of communications and all are "autopoietic," which is to say, self-organizing and self-generating. Here, Luhmann explains how religi

"Persönliche Netzwerke haben in der Luhmannschen Systemtheorie bisher keinen systematischen Stellenwert. Die vorliegende Arbeit versucht diese Lücke mit einer Diskussion bisheriger Begriffsvorschläge und dann mit einer eigenen Verortung des Netzwerkbegriffs in der Systemtheorie zu schließen. Zunächst wird überprüft, inwiefern frühere konzeptionelle Vorschläge in der Systemtheorie für die Fassung persönlicher Netzwerke geeignet sind. Diskutiert werden die Dreier-Typologie sozialer Systeme (Interaktion, Organisation und Gesellschaft) nach Niklas Luhmann, der Vorschlag einer Erweiterung um den Systemtyp der Gruppe von Helmut Willke, Friedhelm Neidhardt und Hartmann Tyrell, sowie Überlegungen zu Familie und Intimsystemen von Tyrell, Luhmann und Peter Fuchs und der Begriff des Interaktionszusammenhangs nach André Kieserling. Der zweite Abschnitt nimmt die bisherigen systemtheoretischen Arbeiten zum Netzwerkbegriff in den Blick: einige Formulierungen von Luhmann selbst, die Arbeiten von Gunther Teubner, von Eckard Kämper und Johannes Schmidt, von Veronika Tacke und von Stephan Fuchs. Abschließend wird auf den vorangegangenen Überlegungen aufbauend ein eigener Begriffsvorschlag für die systemtheoretische Fassung des Netzwerkbegriffs entwickelt. Einzelne Sozialbeziehungen werden dabei im Anschluss an Luhmann als autopoietische Systeme gesehen. Diese sind in gemeinsamen Interaktionen und in der Konstruktion von Personen (als Knoten von Netzwerken) aneinander gekoppelt. Nur in Ausnahmefällen entstehen dabei symbolisch abgeschlossene Gruppen wie Familien oder Straßengangs." (Autorenreferat)

For years, systems theory has been applied successfully in all fields of technology, but its impact on the world of finance has to date been limited. This book aims to rectify this situation. Readers will no longer be able to assert that money cannot be reliably earned on the financial markets: one might just as well say that man has never set foot on the moon. The potential reader may be frightened by the number of formulas, but can be reassured that almost all of them can be skipped.

This treatment provides an exposition of discrete time dynamic processes evolving over an infinite horizon. Chapter 1 reviews some mathematical results from the theory of deterministic dynamical systems, with particular emphasis on applications to economics. The theory of irreducible Markov processes, especially Markov chains, is surveyed in Chapter 2. Equilibrium and long run stability of a dynamical system in which the law of motion is subject to random perturbations is the central theme of Chapters 3-5. A unified account of relatively recent results, exploiting splitting and contractions, that have found applications in many contexts is presented in detail. Chapter 6 explains how a random dynamical system may emerge from a class of dynamic programming problems. With examples and exercises, readers are guided from basic theory to the frontier of applied mathematical research
