O paradoxo da teoria: interpretando Niklas Luhmann

Abstract: Uma abordagem hermenêutica padrão da obra de "grandes teóricos" consiste em tentar oferecer uma explicação de suas teorias que seja tão acurada, abrangente e fiel a seus fundamentos quanto possível. Em outras palavras, implica uma exigência potencial de ortodoxia na exegese: ao lidar com a grande teoria, devemos tentar, ao menos no começo, alcançar uma compreensão abrangente que seja fiel a ela.No entanto, uma pergunta que pode ser feita é: em que medida uma teoria, especificamente uma teoria radicalmente cons… Show more

(Justice, for him, is a mere 'formula of contingency' or Kontingenzformel.)…”
